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, it was served as an ammunition storage space for the British. After World War 2, it seemed like they didn't return and left abandoned; until someone discovered it again.
|
| Hmm, it seemed like good weather so means no muddy ground... |
 |
| I guessed that I would be hiking with a group of people so... No more trisuit entirely. |
.jpeg) |
| 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 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 mosquitoes spray and repellent, and I just stood there receiving their sprays and blessing |
.jpeg) |
| Hmm based on experience, I believe this should be the entrance. |
.jpeg) |
| It seemed like it will be a short hike. |
|
| The ladies need some help to climb up and I just stood aside snapping pictures |
.jpeg) |
| It seems like the red ribbon saves the 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 to our first bunker. Can you find it from the photo? |
 |
| Lucky the ground was not muddy, hence going down on muddy slope will be hectic and dangerous |
.jpeg) |
| OOO! The nice and beautiful bunker 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 in the picture. |
|
| Just check out this vast network of its root! Just amazing! 😲 |
 |
| There are a lot of ants here! |
|
| Better exit before the ants started 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 |
%20(1).jpeg) |
| This bunker looks solid and well preserved |
%20(2).jpeg) |
| Like a Tomb of the past and no crack was found exteriorly |
.jpeg) |
| Purpose of narrow door and only entrance are to prevent any intruders. Even the side holes can use to eliminate any close by enemies from within. |
|
| I placed my camera here and become 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 moving |
|
| Wow large log resting here. It seemed like the government decided to let nature take over until some wealthy people buying the land for development. |
|
| Why not just give the land? 😂 |
 |
| (thanks G) As I wondered around, my colleague, G, snapped a pic of me. The kind of photograph which I always want but I am no super model besides being a super nerd, so treasure whatever outcome |
|
| Group photo again and everyone is safe. 😊👍🏼 |
.jpeg) |
| Maybe I will revisit this place again when it is drier |
 |
| (thanks to one of the ladies) Funny when the ladies just addressed me as Captain Singapore. Too bad, I am not the great representative for Singapore - no look, physique and intelligent. |
|
| The last bunker can only be reached by going down this extreme slope. The gentlemen were assisting the ladies to go down the slope and I just stood there staring and feeding the mosquitoes. |
.jpeg) |
| Hmm... This is the third bunker. I wondered how it looks like |
.jpeg) |
| After got 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 beside 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 kick in but 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 safe 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 sweeper which had no impact on the hike. |
 |
| Check out the aftermath of intruding the mosquitoes' partyhouse |
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. :)
