Blazing Sun, Quiet Country
The first three places I visited in Brunei — the river capital of Bandar Seri Begawan, and the deep rainforest of Temburong.
The Route So Far
1 Energy Hub · 2 Royal Regalia · 3 Ulu Temburong · 4 SOAS Mosque · 5 Istana Nurul Iman · 6 Balai Khazanah · 7 The Mall Gadong · 8 Jame’Asr Mosque
Brunei Energy Hub
Visit at dusk and the sky glows beautifully behind the oil-history exhibits. Free entry is a nice bonus.
Royal Regalia Museum
A compact but rewarding look at royal history and coronation ceremonies. Right in the city centre, so easy to fit in.
Ulu Temburong National Park
A traditional longboat ride upriver, then a canopy walk high above the rainforest — an unmissable Brunei experience.
SOAS Mosque (Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque)

A quick look at what’s worth seeing.
Luagan Lalak
A lakeside boardwalk in the Tutong district — a calm spot to slow down in nature.
Wreck Diving, Pulau Pilong
A shipwreck dive off Muara — not many people realise you can dive in Brunei.
Cafes in Gadong
Reportedly an area packed with great coffee and tea spots.
Billionth Barrel Monument
A monument in Seria where the first oil pump still stands — also a popular sunset spot.
On the Food List To try
Ambuyat
Brunei’s national dish — a starchy sago dip eaten with special forked sticks.
Nasi Katok
Rice, fried chicken and sambal — a cheap, everyday favourite you’ll find anywhere.
