Brunei Darussalam 'The Abode of Peace' 🇧🇳 Introducing the three places we visited this time: 'Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque' (commonly known as the New Mosque 🕌) 'Istana Nurul Iman' (the palace where the king resides 👑) 'Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque' (commonly known as the Old Mosque 🕌) They say there's hardly any tax?! Blessed with natural resources like oil and natural gas, it's also known as a wealthy country!!! The atmosphere of the city during the day and at night is quite different, and it's a country where you can spend a leisurely time forgetting about the time.

Everything pork in this restaurant. This non-halal cafe, which located in Kiulap, included a small, simple interior design with a dark ambiance. The smoked pork ribs were tender and good to eat. I will be back and this time we'll eat in! Pretty good & consistent experience so far. #deliciousfood #bruneifoodies #couplestrip

Last recent holiday I had the pleasure of flying with Brunei Airlines, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped onto the plane, I was greeted with warm smiles from the friendly flight attendants, who went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The flight itself was smooth and comfortable, and I was impressed with the quality of the food and the in-flight entertainment. It's clear that Brunei Airlines puts a lot of effort into making their passengers feel comfortable and relaxed, and I truly appreciated it. Once I arrived in Brunei, I was struck by the beauty of the country and the warmth of the people. Everywhere I went, people greeted me with kindness and hospitality, making me feel right at home. During my stay, I had the opportunity to explore some of Brunei's incredible sights, from the stunning mosques to the lush jungles and pristine beaches. Everywhere I went, I was struck by the natural beauty and the rich cultural heritage of the country. Perhaps the best part of my stay in Brunei, however, was the people. From the hotel staff to the shopkeepers and street vendors, everyone I encountered was kind, friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, and I truly appreciated their kindness. Overall, I would highly recommend both Brunei Airlines and a visit to Brunei itself. From the friendly service on the flight to the warm hospitality of the people, it was truly an unforgettable experience. #bruneiairlines #brunei #southeastasia #hospitality #culture #nature #food #friendlyservice #comfortableflights #travelrecommendations

Brunei is a country as small as a bullet, with a land area of ​​only 5,765 square kilometers. It was originally a very ordinary country, but it became very rich because of the discovery of oil. Brunei is an Islamic country, and entertainment alcohol is of course 🈲️

Item : Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam Location : 4.9031° N, 114.9398° E Bandar Seri Begawan formerly also know as Brunei Town is the capital of Brunei Darussalam. It is a small nation on the island of Borneo. Almost everybody drives here and own a car so limited public transport. They only have mini buses which cost $1 Brunei dollar regardless of distance. They have a rice specialty with funny history called "Nasi Katok". Go and ask the nasi katok seller the real history you will be amazed. It is kind of hilarious. Inwalked 10km on foot to a local restaurant because there is no public transport or ride hailing app there. A stranger offered to hitch me a ride. Hahahaha They say that area have a lot of foreigners and it's not safe to walk long distances. Brunei is like a mellow City that have thick densely covered jungle surrounding it. No night life but the Natures are the bomb. All well preserved. #asiatrip

Brunei Darussalam is a kingdom of 6,000 square kilometers on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is a wealthy country blessed with natural resources, so there must be a luxurious mosque like the one in Abu Dhabi. Access to Brunei is by plane. Compare the two mosques in the capital. Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque (Old Mosque) is a magnificent mosque built by the former king. New Mosque (Jame Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque) is a mosque built to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the current king. The lit-up Old Mosque is fantastic and beautiful. Don't forget to see the royal regalia. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Brunei

Crossing the Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge was more than just a journey—it was an experience woven into the very fabric of Brunei’s landscape. Spanning an incredible 30 kilometers, this engineering marvel stretched before me like an unbroken path connecting two worlds—the untouched tranquility of the Temburong District and the dynamic pulse of the mainland. As I drove, the scenery shifted with every passing kilometer. The shimmering Brunei Bay lay beneath, its waters reflecting the vast sky above. To one side, dense rainforests whispered of adventure, a gateway to the wonders of Ulu Temburong National Park. On the other, the capital stood in quiet contrast—a testament to progress, framed by modernity yet deeply rooted in tradition. There was a certain serenity to the drive—just the rhythm of tires on the road, the open horizon ahead, and the gentle hum of the world passing by. This wasn’t just a bridge; it was a connection, a passage between heritage and modern ambition. By the time I reached the other side, I realized this moment would stay with me—etched into my memory as a reminder of Brunei’s beauty, vision, and the seamless harmony between nature and innovation. #thingstodo#familytravel#trip

📍Brunei Brunei is a peaceful Southeast Asian country where nature and culture remain 🇧🇳 As it is still not well known, we will introduce how to get there. [Airplane] - Kansai: No direct flights Stopping through airports in Southeast Asian countries Stopping points: Cities such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong - Kanto: Direct flights available. Royal Brunei Airlines operates [Time] - About 2.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur - About 6.5 hours from Tokyo [International Airport] - Compact, but has souvenir shops and cafes - After passing through the boarding gate, there is a Starbucks with limited edition goods (a must-see for Starbucks fans) * Please check that the store will be closed if you take a night flight [Access to the city] - It is better not to rely on buses or taxis. (I didn't see it during my stay) - Register for the Brunei-only ride-hailing app "dart" in advance (※ Usage is the same as Uber and Grab, but payment is pre-charged or cash) - Many people in Brunei own their own cars, so transportation is almost non-functional. Be careful when going from the airport to the hotel or sightseeing. [Tipping/Credit Cards] - There is no tipping culture - Credit cards can be used in most cases ※ Cash is required as they cannot be used at night markets ※ I selected charge payment on the distribution app, but sometimes I couldn't access it properly and had to pay in cash.
