Hey everyone! Welcome to our latest video where we take you on an exciting/scary trip to Brunei. This place has been in the news a lot, and we wanted to see what it's really like beyond what everyone talks about. So, we kicked off our adventure wanting to dive into the real Brunei - from its strict laws to its incredible wealth. It's a country that's caught between its rich traditions and some pretty tough rules. But what really blew us away was how friendly and welcoming the people are.
We got to check out the Sultan's massive palace, which is just mind-blowing with all its luxury. But it's not all about the glitz here; we also saw how the country takes care of its people, with free schooling and healthcare, which is pretty awesome. Our journey took us through bustling markets where everything's super cheap, beautiful mosques covered in gold, and even into the lives of the locals who invited us to share a meal with them. It was these moments that really made our trip special.
We also got a peek into the less flashy side of Brunei, visiting a water village and seeing how people live in houses on stilts right over the water. It felt like stepping into a whole different world. This video is all about showing you the real Brunei - from the fancy bits to the simple, everyday life of its people. We're here to share our experiences, the cool places we've seen, the delicious food we've tried, and the amazing people we've met along the way.
So, come along with us as we explore Brunei, see its sights, taste its food, and meet some of the kindest people. It's been an eye-opening trip for us, and we can't wait to share all our stories with you. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button for more adventures around the world. Let's keep it real and explore together!

Very nice and kind people of Brunei. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤
Brunei was my first international destination ❤Many times I visited there. Missed it
Come² again bring you family 😊
You described Brunei and the reasons why we love it here so well! I'm so proud to be a bruneian. I love how you learned and gave so much information about brunei that not many creators that was here has mentioned. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed and come back again.
Amazing weather you filmed in. If the sun was shining the whole day, the heat would have been unbearable.
A person's salary in Brunei is $2,500, so we can say that they live well with everything for one or two dollars
the empire hotel is actually a 7-star hotel : )
I found that out 2 months ago from my dad 😂
Dude I thought it was 6 stars
Michael Jackson Paris Hilton bill clinton been stay there of which their room complete with swimming pool

Hello Jack!

Hanimun in bali Indonesia is good 🎉

Hi Jack I like that Brunei conserve 70% of their forest, how about the water village, how do they manage their personal sanitation or septic tanks?
Back then we have traditional toilet outside but still not far from our house the “bedukang” fish ate the human waste in the water. 😅 but now we have proper water pipeline, and sewer system pipeline. Rubbish are collected from house to house.
Try temburong
Jame Asr'e as your first islamic prayer hall. Awesome
$300 is not a month wage in Brunei... average wage is $1500 to $3000.. and private sector average wage is from $2500 to $8000
Nice country
At the beginning of the video I wasnt really sure of what you were saying because im from Brunei and i have never ever heard or seen anything like that here😢.
Hi Jack! Wonderful introductory vlog about Brunei. If you don't mind, I would like to share some more infos about Brunei.
1. The sultan is not the Education Minister but he is the Defense Minister.
2. Overseas education scholarships are free too if you achieve the required qualifications.
3. We pay zero income tax.
4. Free medical. You pay a dollar to see a doctor for treatment and medicines. If the treatment is not available in Brunei, the government will send you overseas fully subsidized for you and a family member to accompany you.
5. Bandarku Ceria on Sundays is a must.
6. Shariah Law is practiced by countries in Middle East for decades. Since it's implementation here, no one has been amputated or stoned. The complexity of punishing some with Shariah Law is not simple, so Civil Law is still very much impossed.
7. As you can see we live a very simple life. There's no strict rules on clothing as long as you dress appropriately and show respect to others.
8. Bruneians will always go out of their way to help you. Don't be afraid to ask.
9. Going on a guided tour is a good choice and I would recommend it to others.
10. I hope you had a chance to visit Temburong too and explore our jungle.
Safe travels!
Hello, I feel some kinship with the Bruneians and I like that Brunei conserve 70% of their forest, I’m just wondering how about the water village, how do they manage their personal sanitation or septic tanks?
My ancestors were From Malaysia, in fact the last name was Coching/Kuching. Francisco Coching, Gregorio Coching and Ulpiana Coching.
WELCOME TO BRUNEI 😊😊😊🎉
WE ALL PROUD TO BE BRUNEIAN. A BIG HUG AND LOVE TO ALL TOURIST. YOU GUYS ARE MOST WELCOME HERE. A VERY PEACEFUL COUNTY.
" ADOBE OF PEACE "❤
His Highness Sultan birthday on 15/07/24 please³ don't miss your change to visit here.. come early before the celebration, you wouldn't regret bro.😊
There is a bridge across the river, the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha Bridge, aka the Sungai Kebun Bridge. You can see its vertical single pylon in the background (19:27), do do.
Tq for visiting my country sir...my name Ruzaiman😊
,1)Sharia law only for Muslim
2) ,Nurul Iman palace open for public for 2 days during Hari and meet the His Majesty the Sultan
How i wish your tour guide is Bruneian or someone who atlest know Brunei like the back of her hand, or atleast memorized His Majesty’s name, cause it seems like some of the info she gave was slightly incorrect. But she did a good job in bringing you around. Thank you for deciding to visit Brunei, seeing and experience Brunei upfront, I hope Brunei treated you well
Sultan of Brunei loves Gurkhas.
I live in brunei
You are nice Jack Torr
Everybody is so nice except for the western media
welcome to Jame' 'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah
W 0:10
✋✋. Philippines
As a Bruneian i am quite disappointing that your tour guide is filipino. not our own people....
anyway thanks for visiting our country. please spread the word to others.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im Bruneian
The Palace is also the office of the Prime Minister, so its not really something extravagant.
It is excusable for the king to have that so much money If he is providing free health and education. I really liked the quietness of 🇧🇳
Your videos is good but have so many of ads.. in this video only have 12 ads
..,,.,..,.. that me
Window Shoping Can Make U Hungry Eyes 😂...BeCareful...
It's too peaceful and laid back country.
Why the guide filipina 😂😂
In real life
The country is nice and they keep their values...why west want other countries to have their values??? You should respect values and morals of others
eh? even your tour guide didn't remember his full name? :/
May I. ?Our sultan’s name is Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Muezziddin Wadaullah in short, just Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. I think the tour guide is not local , she’s a Fiilipino, hence she cudn’t remember correctly.😊
Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddien Waddaulah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saiffuddien Saadul Khairi Waddien 😊
So it doesn't change the fact about controversial laws.
it's Brunei religion and law why do other people have to bother about it. We live in peaceful and harmony. Not gonna make a difference if you come here or not. Our religion is our top priority.
Not at all, brother. I don't bother at all.
Just state the fact.
Actually, I don't give a sh*t.
Islam is not allowed to be gay and despite the fact, who wants to be gay in the best welfare country?
The punishment only for Muslim.
I cant go there, I’m gay, I dont wanna get stoned
Just stay in your fantasy world
Nobody knows you're gay unless you perform gay sexual act in public. Even Muslim married couples dont kiss openly. Keep your private lives at home.
Why not??? Unless you show your sex life in public and if you are a moslem.
Why not??? Unless you show your sex life publically and if you are a moslem.
And that's why brunei is the best country in the world
You didn’t get stoned??
Don’t think they will simply just stoned people unless you have sex In public. I’ve been there,and the people were so kind ❤
For brainwashed people who listen Western propaganda is better to stay in coutrys where they born
The Sharia laws only for Muslims with 4 witness
Brunei here.. did you have sex in public then no.
Straight sex or gay sex in public is wrong. What you do in ur home is ur business.
Also the sultan give every student no matter our preference gay or straight the for all students if Brunei allowance $450 every month.
Health care free
Education Free
Homeless- Free house
Elderly, Single parent and Orphan gets helps.
The palace are open during celebration all citizen are welcome to come no matter ur status.
Aww Jack where is Sophia??
Im a Bruneian and who is that lady guide? Is she even a bruneian? she dont know what shes talking about and doesn't seem too keen in "Guiding"
