The lay of the land
With 1 neighbour sharing a border, Brunei lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

Travel notes for Brunei
BN / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
Skip roaming charges and airport-SIM queues: an Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and switches on the second you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days. It runs on local networks, so there’s no bill shock when you get home.
Timing your trip
Brunei doesn’t have four seasons, it has two: dry and wet. The temperature barely moves all year, and what decides the trip is the rain, not the thermometer.
Paying your way
Budget in the local currency and check the day’s exchange rate before you travel. Tell your bank you’ll be abroad so cards aren’t blocked, prefer cards or a travel wallet for the best rate, and carry a little cash for markets and small towns.
Documents & cover
The name on the ticket has to match the passport exactly, middle names and all. It sounds trivial until an airline treats a missing letter as a different person, and fixing it at the desk costs money.
Getting understood
Ask for directions inside a shop, not out in the street: someone standing behind a counter has time and knows the area, while someone walking past has neither.
