How did you find this place? I have messaged ahead to alert the staff at this facility that I will be coming for a retreat next week, but I am unable to figure out how to get myself there. Are there buses? Should I grab a cab from Bangkok? Any help appreciated!
SUPERB! I used to live in Brunei years ago and this took me back. What a brave lady you are. Am getting a tat in August and loved this story. Inspired.
With thanks and appreciation.

Divide and Rule The White Rajahs, like all colonists, used the tactic of Divide and Rule. To conquer new territories, they conscript natives from one area to kill natives in another. They used soldiers from India to attack China in the Opium Wars to expand their opium market. They used Javanese to attack the Hindus in Bali. They used the militia from the First Division to fight "pirates" in the Second. The many forts were built to separate people living upriver from those of the coast. Ibans from upriver were not allowed to migrate to downriver. The Malay traders from the coast lost their business from upriver dwellers. The forts were used to enforce their sanctions. Those who did not submit to them were denied essentials like salt and farming tools.
The Chinese proverb says all the peas (uncolonized subjects) in the pod (subdued subjects) exist together (in the same boat). They were just burning the pods to cook the peas.
I have just published a book: The White Rajahs...Myths Retold, the Massacre of the Bau Chinese.
The books exposes the White Rajahs as mass killers. We know they attacked the natives which resulted in many massacres, like the so called Beting Marau sea battle. But the biggest one happened in the so called Chinese Rebellion. All houses and shops from Siniawan to the border were burnt down and some 3,500 Dayako Chinese were obliterated. Most Hakka gold miners and farmers came from Kalimantan where they had live for over a century. Unable to return to China, they had lived for generations in mix marriage with the locals. For the murder of four white souls the White rulers ordered their militia to kill them all. Somehow, the White men thought they were less savage than other people. The indigenous people must rewrite their own history. -Desmond leong
