Awesome tips! Good thing you found an affordable accommodation to stay in. Brunei has little need for tourism, so there’s not a lot of budget-friendly accommodations in sight over there.

That would depend on how you travel. Are you going to pre-pay your tours and accommodations? What activities do you plan to do?

Hi, I’m traveling Brunei next year for 3 days only, would like to ask if how much the budget trip will take for a solo Filipino traveler. Is it okay 5,000 pesos only as my pocket money in Brunei? or should I take 30,000? I don’t have any Idea. Hoping for any response Thank you.

In reply to Nina. Thank you for sharing your experience Ma'am! (c",) I'll be traveling to Brunei by tomorrow. I came across your blog while searching for the sleeping experiences in the Brunei International Airport. Like you've said, I'll be also taking the sole red-eye flight and will be taking a nap until daybreak. Thanks for the tips! I appreciate it! ;-)

In reply to Paula. If you leave your baggage, there's a chance they might take it to their security office. Best to take it with you. Don't worry, you can easily go to the departure area after claiming your baggage.

Hi Nina,

Saw your blog. I am going to Brunei for the same flight but I may need to check in baggage since I will be carrying a “selfie pod” (would you happen to know if this is allowed to carry on?). In any case, would it be possible to claim my baggage then go back in the departure area to sleep until morning or is it safe to leave my baggage in the conveyor belt and claim at around 6AM?

thank you!

Hi nina! its been awhile girl! Currently planning my next long-awaited tour in another asian country — Vietnam (including visiting my brother Gelo who introduced us in Brunei ^-^ FYI: He is living with his wife and 2 babies there now!) plus hoping for a side-trip to Angkor Wat as well. Lol, and thats why I am here again checking your blog for tips. Anyhow, Its so flattering to see my smiling self here..I remember it being one crazy restaurant…pay as you like! Don’t recall if we did pay for the food though.. ^-^ thank you for this and for the memories of a short fateful day in BSB. I hope our paths will cross again one day. Stay safe and happy wandering 😉

Hi Maria,

I did a solo backpacking tour of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei in October 2011.

I can attest to how safe it is to travel and tour BSB even when you are alone.

I did my tour plan based on what I read from numerous travel blogs (including Nina’s). I even shot a similar photo of the seat which Nina used as her bed in the airport.

Enjoy BSB! 🙂

Hi, I’ll be in Brunei in July next year, is it safe to travel there alone? HAve you tried to visit the water village or go to nearby country, like Sarawak/Kota Kinabalu in Malyasia from Brunei?

I’d like to try that but I’m afraid my 4-day trip won’t make it

Any tips? 🙂

thanks
