Hi Yan, I went to Brunei last year because I like places most people don't go. I would say, I had the best experience there compared to all other 10 southeast asian countries. The major reason is the mild characteristics of Brunei people. I was told when you blend the Malay personality and Asian muslim, that is what you get. People are so well-lived and well-taken care of in that country, so it reflects in all my interactions with their daily attitudes towars life. Brunei is so impressive, but I will say for tourists who typically want to see major sights may not like it. For travelers who loves culture and experience, Brunei is a must visit/
6 years as a OFW overseas filipino worker from 2003 to 2009 i am happy to see the country of brunei again even through your video thank you Yan,what can i say about brunei is very peaceful and clean country and the people are diciplined and kind❤
My wife and I love your videos, and we are currently watching right from the beginning. You are a wonderful presenter, your delight in meeting new people and seeing new places is just totally heart warming. We will never visit the places that you have been but seeing them through your eyes is the next best thing.
Huge fan of your work. I wished i knew you were coming to Brunei. would have loved to host you. But then i realised you were here during Ramadhan and I had my first even visit to China.. inspired by your videos. I hope you enjoyed Brunei.
Hi, I’m so excited to see your coverage on Brunei. As a Bruneian here, I would like to clarify that the smoke along the highway is actually forest fire due to extreme dry and hot weather we encounter the past weeks. There were even heatwave warning from the local authorities. It’s sad to see the green trees being caught on fire at certain areas.
Bruneian Chinese here! I don’t see a lot of videos related to Brunei so it’s nice to finally see a few esp from Chinese youtubers. Saw that you went to Seria town so hope you had a chance to visit the Billionth Barrel Monument and OGDC. A night’s stay at The Empire Hotel, Jerudong or trying ambuyat (national dish) would also be fantastic 😁. Hope you had a great time in Brunei!!
Somewhere, below you have a welcome from Nepal. British Gurkha soldiers (provided by men from Nepal) assist with the security of Brunel (not sure about now). I spent a little time there as a Gurkha Officer from Hong Kong aeons ago. But, later returned as an expedition leader with young people travelling to neighbourong Sarawak and Sabah to trek in the rain forest (difficult) or go deep into the forest on boats on smaller rivers. Borneo is truly a paradise. I remember drinking beer poured from teapots pretending it was tea (alcohol is illegal in Brunel - or it was). The people are like the flowers, beautiful! Your video brought back many wonderful memories of Borneo.
Greetings! Thank you so much for another excellent, beautiful, interesting video. I started to cry again at the beginning. Love China and Asian ppl so much. So glad you got to see Flo again. You complement each other so well and enjoy traveling and adventure. Amazing drone filming and great background music. Thanks for your videos! Us followers really love and appreciate you. Keep up the great work. Be safe and careful! God bless you.
Thanks Yan & Flo ,sharing your adventure in this friendly country, your videos are excellent, backed up by aerial filming, its like actually being there,your speedy river taxi was fantastic, brilliant.
Hi Yan and Flo! Big fan of your work! So thrilled that you guys visited my home country! Gorgeous gorgeous drone shots! Hope you enjoyed your stay here. Keep up the good work and take care! Looking forward to more videos!
👍👍👍 yes thumbs up! This is one of the best Brunei vlogg I have seen todate. Beautiful nature from your lens. Btw to answer Flo, food sold by muslims are during the day in preparation of breaking fast at Sunset. After that muslims attend night prayers at the mosque so no time for cooking or selling for most.
car is very affordable in brunei thats why every family owns them, the cheapest is $200+ a month brand new , no tax, no car long que jam, peaceful life, good if you love simple and humble life :D you can definitely save alot of money living here for sure
I have heard since the 1980's that the Sultanate of Brunei is one of the most Peaceful, Safest, Tranquil and Cleanest country in Southeast Asia. The Brunei Citizens are religious, disciplined and law abiding people. The country is very rich because of the Oil and Gas industry.
Brunei is my kind of paradise. So peaceful, friendly and good mannered people, pristine nature, slow paced life. A hidden gem indeed. I hope Brunei never become famous tourist destination.
I didnt know that fact for Chinese people lol...i am Chinese and I have been to Brunei many times for business...love Brunei....somehow ur videos make Brunei even nicer than I remembered.
Good afternoon Yan, & Flo, my goodness what a different contrast it seems after leaving China to Brunie, the first thing noticed not a large amount people & Prayers being said at the Mosque, it was interesting the old fishing villages on the water, I think the Sultan of Brunie is trying to make sure all his people live in good housing, extra, it was wonderful seeing all the rain forest trees being looked after,not a lot of people in the lake area, your guide that showed you around the fishing area also showed you the large Crocodiles that were resting on the river shores were the ones that were in the crocodile farm many years before, great video work Fellows, it being Ramadan its a public holiday & Fasting to late evening,then its time to eat as normal, loved the video Yan, keep them coming, Regards & Best Wish to you Both, Trevor.W.Bacelli.

Thank you so much for this episode, it definitely widened my mind as I’ve only heard of Brunei but, didn’t know much about it, it’s a wonderful country, thank you again, I’ve watched every episode and it’s wonderful, good luck for future
Brunei is a small country in Borneo island less frequently reported by UA-camr, nevertheless it is one of the richest country in the world because of its big oil production, the landscape is well diversified and well worth a visit, welcome to Brunei!
Too bad you did not make the 60 mile trip to Seria, Panaga and Kuala Belait. Its where I grew up, and worked for the LNG plant and then moved to Canada. Never been back, so this video was a nice refresher of sorts. Thanks !
Water villages are commonplace in equatorial Southeast Asia not affected by typhoons and the coastal regions are mangrove swamps. The houses are built on wooden stilts of the nipah tree commonly found in the area. Such wood are very resistant to seawater corrosion. Water village people are mostly fishermen. The coastal seas, swamps and jungles are a rich source of aquatic foods: crustaceans, fish, plant food, herbs, resin etc. Firewood is aplenty. Mangrove wood are easily converted to charcoal. Freshwater are collected from the frequent afternoon showers (in olden times). Traveling is convenient via boats through the calm seas and rivers crisscrossing the swamps.
Hello,for the info there is some place in brunei that you not yet explore eg ulu temburong ,jerudong park,gadong night market etc.Hope you will enjoy visiting our small country in land of peace..see yaa bye.
Thank you, Yan, for this guided tour of a place I'll never be able to visit. Your travelogues have a really intimate feeling of place, function and history, probably because you connect with the locals, and see the place you're visiting through their eyes, rather than with a travel guide. I revisited your tour of the karst formations in Southern China, one of my favourites, recently. We have karst formations here in Australia, but they are underground. Perhaps you can visit them one day, and show them to the world at large.
I stayed in Kampong Lamunin, Tutong for 8yrs.as an OFW l work in the company of Haji Abang Yusuf, Brunei is a very peaceful Country , Brunei people are very friendly they treat you as thier country mate . Very nice place to visit
Its interesting to learn a little about Brunei. Thank you for the vlog. Also on the side note, its better to wear a life jacket when you're taking the boat. Don't mind me, I'm just a worrywart . 😊
Like your videos you are catering culture of different countries,I like even your music background.its even quite amazing that your videos is so educating too.thanks for sharing..Elsie from the Philippines 😊
Love what you do. Your voice is soothing and pleasant. Your music choices are very tasteful. Very pro. Thank you for doing this. You bring a lot to the table, dear sister. I see that part of the world through you and it means a lot.
You are close to my hometown, further north to Sarawak Lawas small town. You can take a bus from Brunei pass through my hometown to Sabah Kota Kinabalu and maybe can stop by my hometown to eat Sarawak Kolo Mee & Laksa.😆 Happy Adventure!
Between the sketchy floating houses on stilts, and an actual torch to light the way for the boat with a very loud engine on a river full of 7 foot crocodiles makes this read more of an Xtreme adventure video than a travel video.
Goodness me so this is the surprise country to explore?? The Sultanate! Ya! its oil-rich & petrol is cheapest here. Its not floating village rather Water Village with houses on stilts! Used to be the largest water village in the world! Just across the bay is my home town just a boat ride away(1hour)😊!! Nice footage on the National park. Cheers! Have a great adventure in this part of the world!!! 🙏👌💪
Hi...glad to see you in south east asia & hoping someday you & Flo can visit my country Indonesia..a country with so many beautiful nature & local culture 👍🏻🙏🏻

This is the first video of Brunei that I've watched. Thank you.
It's my first ever video about Brunei too. Not impressed. Would skip...
@@peanut0brain If you're only interested in the urban areas you won't find much. But the nature trails are pretty great
So happy you were able to connect with Flo. Life is too short, spend all the time together you can and enjoy the love of travel. Great video.
Thank you for show this for us❤
what an entertaining, informative and well edited video! love your interaction with the locals the most. so respectful & kind ❤️
Huge fan of your work. I wished i knew you were coming to Brunei. would have loved to host you. But then i realised you were here during Ramadhan and I had my first even visit to China.. inspired by your videos. I hope you enjoyed Brunei.

I love how Flo so cheerfully mentioned that there are crocodiles in the water after pointing out the missing boards. 😄
I enjoy your videos so much. They are informative, entertaining and relaxing. Thank you.
Very glad you are with Flo. I like when he is in the videos. Very friendly people. Good drone footage.
This video was so beautifully filmed! Love from Singapore 🤍

We have been to Sarawak only 1/2 hour from the boarder to Bruni. It's a beautiful area
Love you video ❤ from Queensland Australia

I enjoy you both together! Thank you for sharing your adventures together ❤️
Thank you! GREAT VIDEO!😊
Great to see the two of you back together at last! The shots of the sunset were especially beautiful.
That sign of 宝宝 he’s holding was so cute!😄❤️
It's so nice to see the two of you together again.

Since you're traveling to south east asia, maybe you can come to the philippines, and glad to see you with flo ,we will wait for you guys🙌
I’m sad to say I didn’t know about this country before this video. Thank you for educating me, Yan. ❤

Litlle Chinesse thanks for this nice videos from Turkey😀❤💛💚👉
THANK YOU SO MUCH. LOVE FROM UZBEKISTAN!❤
Love ur video this is the best about Brunei hope u enjoy your time in Brunei...Selamat Datang...
I guess it worth visiting some time. People can speak English very well and the place seems nice. Also asian food
North Borneo, has occupied by UK. So, their culture influenced by England, include their language.
Many thanks to the “Drone Queen “ very professional ❤🇨🇦
You both are so adventures!😃Very nice video! Amazing rural part of Brunei. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I am always happy to meet and learn about the different story from your viewers! Nice job, Yan!
Hello,for the info there is some place in brunei that you not yet explore eg ulu temburong ,jerudong park,gadong night market etc.Hope you will enjoy visiting our small country in land of peace..see yaa bye.
Nice! I knew zero about Brunei, now it’s a real place. Thank you 谢谢🙏！

Super cool , thanks , lovely drone work and music .
Thank you, really enjoyed watching it. The tropical rain forest and swamp is one of the best in Borneo. Sad to see deforestation is going on.
Unfortunately, they don't realize that the wealth they own is worth more than the wealth they sell.
Very nice and beautiful, Thank you little Chinese.
omgggggg, You are here!!!!! WELCOME🎉🎉🎉
