Good choice! Brunei is a good place to visit. You need at least 2 weeks to be able to appreciate their cultural and explore the wild nature.

But the comments here like 一边倒 negative leh i think many edmwers here very negative thinking

[deathan9el]

[coyote]

Thinking about going next week to clear some hr said AL i left 35 days

Go China or Malaysia, can use wireless payment, no need to change so many physical notes.

 

[SaintPeachie]

Can go for JCC course and sew onto your security guard or grabfood uniform.

Brunei almost no alcohol. The food is super limited due to lack of culture. Everything has to be halal so even if they did serve some other cuisine, it's always lacking cause they need to halalfied it.

As for nature and views, apparently also very lacking. Not sure go brunei can do what.

 

[zoossh]

Brunei very boring one le
Go Sarawak better la..
Kuching!

What difference between the two

Don’t bring Bruneian dollars back. Most shops would not want them.

Stay in Empire. Break fast at the polo club. Take a barge to Temburong. Enjoy Iban culture. Drive 2 hours to Miri and experience the other JB. Take a steel boat to Labuan and wonder why alcohol can be tax free in predominantly Muslim Malaysia and why Labuan is tax free.

Take a dip in Kampong Baru before going to the grand mosque. Drive around the main palace and marvel at a palace that is bigger than its colonial partner. Brunei was not a colony but a protectorate.

Find out where Yaohan was, the basic of SAF’s R&Rs. Experience blacked out butcher shops. Chinese non-halal restaurants can be surprisingly good.

You go during Ramadan period. GG hor.

Lunch time and all…..really can eat grass. Most of them don’t open and serve food one.

TS melayu? Otherwise you have to respect them and not eat as well, at least while you're outside

Restaurants that open are illegal during this time

wah! didnt know this

Unfortunately the people there are equally ignorant in the currency, as ours are.
My advice to you is to just get it changed at the money changer.
Don't give yourself headache buying stuff there.

No leh, been there before, can use SGD as it is. Only thing is that you will get Brunei currency as change which ppl here in SG unfortunately don't recognize and refuse to accept, so do use it up before coming back.

 

[ahnyaahnya]

They love SGD...like all FT n PR

Why?

 

[yesman2978]

Aside from being able to use Singapore currency in Brunei, what does the country really offer beyond jungle, a royal palace, and small town settlements?

These are kind of things people purposely go for when travelling in other countries

Not everyone likes to visit big overcrowded cities, where the only thing to do is eat and shop

For the same reason why people want to go to less populated areas, and do nature related activities like hiking.

Substitute jungle with mountain, farmlands, fields, deserts, basically you would have described many places around the world. E.g. UK, France, Japan, Mongolia, Bhutan, Taiwan

if go money changer change Bruneian dollar, is it 1:1 exchange?
like that the service is FOC?

My fren changed $50 at changi money changer, 1:1 exchange no service charge lol quite funny also cos exact same value.

Can try asking the shop if they accept in sgd. Or if they allow paywave can use youtrip etc. Some can some cannot.

To me brunei was v boring but a bit better since went with friends. Really nothing much there. Took the speedboat to tour the water houses, then walked the nature hill etc. Food relatively cheap. Petrol super cheap like 50 cents per litre. Mall very boring though got cinema.

Country feels abit like msia, laidback and not so "developed" into city landscape with skyscrapers that kind, even though country is supposed to be rich cos of oil. Maybe all e money is with the select group of people
