Mulu Airport

At the Mulu airport while waiting for the Fokker 50 (MAS) to arrive
from Miri, I chatted with the tour guide.

Tour guide:" Mr. Wong, did you know why is the last flight at 3 or 4 pm?"

Me:" You mean the flight from Mulu to Miri?"

Tour guide:" Yes, the airport here closes around 4pm."

Me:" Hmmm... cause the weather here might turn bad after 4 pm?"

Tour guide:" Not really...."

Me:" Hmmmm.... cause there are not much of passenger?"

Tour guide:" Nope !!"

Tour guide:" Actually cause this Mulu National Park has a lot of caves
and in the caves there are a lot of Bats .... you know? Bats???"

Me:" Yeah , kelawar, bats, bian fu !!"

Tour guide:" These bats dinner time is 5:30 pm onwards till night, so
if there are plane (Fokker 50) coming and going....

2 years later this place will have no bats left... "

Me:" You are right !! "

Mulu Airport. 2 km from Mulu National Park. and nearby Royal Mulu
Resort. Best place to stay.
