Good Morning Blog,
I thought that I had cleared the most accessible bunker until Mr L suggested Kay Siang Bunker.

| Did some research about it before going |
It was built around 1940, and it served as an ammunition storage space for the British. After World War 2, it seemed like they didn't return and were left abandoned, until someone discovered them again.
|
| Hmm, it seemed like good weather, so that means no muddy ground... |
 |
| I guessed that I would be hiking with a group of people, so... No more trisuit entirely. |

| To top it off... Heavy rain spotted! Noooooo! But Mr L and the group were not aware of it because they were already travelling to the meeting place. |
 |
| A few stops before our meeting station, the rain finally stopped. But... Pity my shoes later... |
 |
| Today will be a big group led by Mr L |
|
| With a mask and without, it was a group of retirees, and I managed to convince G to join our hike today. Hope she will enjoy it as it is her first time doing urbex. |
 |
| Everyone got ready by applying the mosquito spray and repellent, and I just stood there receiving their sprays and blessings. |

| Hm,m based on experience, I believe this should be the entrance. |
.jpeg) |
| It seemed like I would be on short hike. |
|
| The ladies need some help to climb up, and I just stood aside snapping pics. ures |

| It seems like the red ribbon saves th.e day. |
.jpeg) |
| From what I see, this should be an easy hike. |
 |
| As usual, I will be behind everyone to ensure no one is left behind. |
|
| It should be no problem for me. |
|
| Shortly, we arrived at our first bunker. Can you find it in the photo? |
 |
| Luckily, the ground was not muddy, so going down the muddy slope would be hectic and dangerous.s |

| OOO! The nice and beautiful bunke,r as compared to those which I had seen so far |
 |
| The nature and construction that fused together... are so beautiful. |
|
| This bunker was abandoned for quite a long time. The vine got so thick here. |
|
| Even though my imagination started to kick but best to pose and exit this place asap |
 |
| (Thanks to the uncle) TATA! Rare sight! You see! Here is where my camera and I captured the picture. |
|
| Just check out this vast network of its roots! Just amazing! 😲 |
 |
| There are a lot of ants here! |
|
| Better exit before the ants start to take over my legs. |
|
| A perfect window shot here and love the window 😍 |

| Compared to the Tree Shrine, this one is rather well-formed. |
.jpeg) |
| Still remember that I said the bunker (in the beginning) is beautiful, but this one is different.t |

| This bunker looks solid and well-preserv.ed |
%20(2).jpeg) |
| Like a Tomb of the past, and no crack wfound externallylyy |
.jpeg) |
| The purpose of the narrow door and the only entrance is to prevent any intruders. Even the side holes can be used to eliminate any nearby enemies from within. |
|
| I placed my camera here and created a photo booth session. Haha 😂 now left me so that here can be quieter. |
 |
| Hmm 🤔 I wonder what is inside... |
.jpeg) |
| Pitch dark and flooded. RUN! 🏃🏽 It is a mosquitoes party bunker! |
 |
| Because I was a sweeper for the group, many mosquitoes started to attach to me... If I stood at a spot will only allow mosquitoes to dine in. |
 |
| Let's get myself movin'.g |
|
| W, aow large log resting here. It seemed like the government decided to let nature take over until some wealthy people bought the land for development. |
|
| Why not just give the land? 😂 |
 |
| (thanks G) As I wandered around, my colleague, G, snapped a pic of me. The kind of photograph which I always want, but I am not a supermodel, besides being a super nerd, so treasure whatever outcome |
|
| Group photo again,n and everyone is safe. 😊👍🏼 |
.jpeg) |
| Maybe I will revisit this place again when it is dry |
 |
| (thanks to one of the ladies) Funny when the ladies just addressed me as Captain Singapore. Too bad, I am not a great representative for Singapore - no looks, physique and intelligence. |
|
| The last bunker can only be reached by going down this extreme slope. The gentlemen were assisting the ladies to go down the slope,e and I just stood there staring and feeding the mosquitoes. |
.jpeg) |
| Hmm... This is the third bunker. Iwonder whatw it looks like |
.jpeg) |
| After getting down from the steep slope, a tall wall stood in front of me... Hmmm, what is this... |
.jpeg) |
| Oooo! There are windows here. This place might be a storage place. |
|
| If based on my army experience, this might be the ammunition distribution place. |
|
| Because I don't find any other window from outside besides the side. |
.jpeg) |
| Besides the collapsed roof... |
 |
| Narrow door to prevent quick entrance by the intruders |
.jpeg) |
| Also, have two layers of entrance for extra security |
|
| Similar to the first bunker, this has a tall ceiling for cool. air |
|
| It is quite a big room though... |
 |
| My imagination started to kkick in,but I need to control |
.jpeg) |
| Poor plushie... |
 |
| Let's move to the next room. |
|
| Vine plants seemed alive here in another room |
.jpeg) |
| Hmm... Can't really have the time to inspect this |
|
| I realised... our hike was about to end... |
.jpeg) |
| Last assistance for safe exit |
|
| Everyone is ssafefe and the ladies were very thankful to have men around during this hike |
|
| (Thanks to the ladies) They felt thankful to us, but I didn't do much besides becoming a ssweepereper which had no impact on the hike. |
 |
| Check out the aftermath of interrupting the mosquitoes' party house |
Overall, Kay Siang Bunker will be the perfect beginner urbex hike, but just take note of its steep slopes. I will visit this place again. :)
Jeff
