Where to start? Where to go? What to do?!

I%26#39;m planning on taking 3 to 4 weeks off work for a trip to Brunei (to catch up with family there for about 5 days).

Am viewing this as an opportunity to explore further afield. Would like to experience the best of what that part of the world can offer (within that time frame anyway!) Also after a bit of rest of relaxation (on some deserted beach somewhere!) Not looking for super-luxururious places to stay - just soewhere comfortable and safe.m

Not sure if I should simply focus on visiting Malaysia or whether I should try to incorporate a visit to Thailand or anywhere else for that matter!

Would be REALLY grateful for any suggestions or recommendations!

Warm Greetings from Brunei Darussalam!

Hi,

If you are an active and adventurous person, you could try Jet Skiing in Serasa Beach. You could also visit Labi for that matter, The Iban Long House, and trekking to Wasai Wong Kadir in which a Cool Waterfall can be found. There you could have a family picnic and if you are lucky you could even stop for Hua Ho oranges picking on your way to labi. If you decided to take the above trip please call 6732234280 Freme Tour operators Mr sugu or you could email them at sugu@freme.com

Hoped you enjoy your trip to Brunei.

Well,I am an expat living here and I wouldnt reccomend any of those things!

I would do temburong canopy walk,a full day and you need to be fond of stairs!Its a ferry trip from town(7brunei) to temburong,then a bus to the park, then a skinny wooden boat trip up some gentle rapids...o not so gentle but very safe,then a walk through lovely national park...up lots of steps,until you get to the canopy walk....and walk through the tree tops.You need freme to orgainise the boat and bus.The ferry you can catch your self,day should cost you 45 if you orgainse 6 people.Otherswise it can cost 136!

You can also organise a water taxi in town to take you down the river(past sultans palace) to see the proboscis monkeys,go early at low tide if possible and then you may see otters and the odd croc too.Have lunch at portview italian restarnt after wards or coffee great view and nice.Jerudong park is worth a visit(5 b) opens at 5,a theme park .....pretty amazing,lots of rides dont work but enough do to make it worthwhile,and go to the laser water show,also in the park at 8,9 and 10.Worth the 5 just for that!!!Golf is cheap here and excellent.Best is the course in Jerudong park 25 for a round plus buggy.Gadong markets might be interesting for you...mixed market behind next to main mall.You could do a trip to Kota kinabulu and see the mountain there,great snorkelling there and diving at islands 10 mins from most main hotels.I would reccomend Sutra harbour hotel..view pools(old part is cheaper and I like it better but you may like the newer part of the hotel as has asian rooms.)Worth a visit to see the mosques and deff walk around the water village or catch a water taxi(10) for a trip around it.Have a t least one meal at the Empire Hotel...do the lunch in the atrium(33) ot pantai grill fri and Sat (44)If you do the lunch get there early before';greedy'; people!!!

Jerudong pantai markets(fish and veges) very local but fascinating get there at 5.All sorts of amazing fish.............and fruit...............even saw a croc there once for sale!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope that helps!!!!Trust me these are all GREAT tips.
