"Oil Kingdom of Brunei" Top 5 Page for this destination Brunei by SLLiew

Brunei Travel Guide: 888 reviews and 3,456 photos

Brunei is one of the tourist less visited country in South East Asia.

It is one of the smallest and perhaps its remote location on Borneo island makes it expensive and off the major backpacking trails.

For more details, also check my page of the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.

So hence, Brunei's main draw as a tourist place is that not everyone has already been here yet and thus awaiting for your own discovery about what's unique of this Oil rich Islamic Kingdom of Brunei.

No wonder Royal Sultanate of Brunei is one of the richest country! Many Indians also used to go there but as labours and few teachers.

Great tips on a fascinating place. So you collect stamps as well as postcards. What else do you collect? Countries perhaps?

Most people in Europe know Brunei in the first place because of their stamps of because of Shell. Two weeks ago I met our friends who just came back from Brunei after a stay of some years.
