What Is Brunei REALLY Like? 🚙🇧🇳 Travelling Overland Through the World’s Most Secretive Country 🔥

Brunei — one of the world’s most secretive and misunderstood countries. Before arriving, we’d heard all the headlines about Sharia law, strict rules, and oppression… but what we discovered driving across this tiny oil-rich nation was something very different.

In this episode, we cross the border from Miri, Malaysia into Brunei and set out to uncover what life here is really like. Along the way, we:
Visit the Billionth Barrel Monument ⛽️
Try to find the Sultan’s not-so-humble palace 🏰
Wander through the floating village of Kampong Ayer 🚤
Explore the bustling Gadong Night Market 🍢
Share breakfast with an incredibly generous group of locals 🥘
Visit the stunning Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque 🕌
Take a jungle river cruise to spot proboscis monkeys 🐒
This journey completely changed our perceptions of Brunei. Far from being cold or unwelcoming, we found warmth, generosity, and some of the most unique cultural experiences on our overland trip so far.
👉 If you’ve ever wondered what Brunei is REALLY like, join us as we drive through one of the least-visited countries in Southeast Asia.
