Batu Mapan Recreational Waterfall (Rekreasi Wasai Batu Mapan) is a natural region that is abundant in flora and fauna and is tranquil, surrounded by hills, trees, and a foggy environment, making it appropriate to be utilized for recreational activities in addition to economic activities and nature tourism. Eight houses, two rest huts, a mini stage, a control hut, a public restroom, six benches, and a memorial monument representing three pillars with the concept of three communities of the village residents Pad Nunok, namely the Tutong Malays, Dusun Malays, and the Chinese community, have all been built in order to maintain the potential of the recreation park.[6]

According to the author's research, the residents of Pad Nunok are well known for their distinctive handicrafts, particularly those made from waste materials and natural materials like hats and baskets by utilizing materials like paper and plastic as well as natural resources like rattan and a grass variety known as Buyu. There has been increasing demands for handmade goods, particularly domestic demand during the holiday season. The village handicrafts are also on display at the Royal Tools Museum in partnership with the Tutong District Office, despite the fact that none of the crafts created to far have ever been exported.
