Brunei has a tropical rain forest climate with temperatures usually in the low 80’s. January, February, and December are the best months for travelers to visit because of the good weather and temperature.

There are rainy seasons all year, but July is the warmest month and January is the coolest month to travel to these places in Brunei. November is not the best time to travel because it is the wettest month while March is the driest month.

Travelers going to Brunei need to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Don’t draw attention too much, and report any activity that doesn’t seem normal.

Crimes are usually non-violent and can include burglaries and breaking into vehicles. Victims of crime and domestic violence can contact the U.S. Embassy for help.

Women are, for the most part, safe to travel to Brunei. If they are alone, it is best to walk with confidence and dress in clothes that don’t reveal their bodies. The Brunei people are friendly, but women may receive long stares.

Travelers should be on the lookout for scams in Brunei. They should not let people sell them lottery tickets and take them to a casino because it is illegal to gamble. Travelers also need to be aware of shops and marketplaces that sell counterfeit medicine.

Travelers have the experience of visiting the Royal Palace on the second, third, and fourth day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. These days are when the palace is open to travelers and citizens alike. People have the chance to meet the Sultan of Brunei and the royal family members. Visitors also have the opportunity to see a piece of history as they enter the palace.

Guests are given a celebratory meal, greeted by the sultan and his wife, and given a gift. Male guests can greet the sultan while women guests can greet his wife with a handshake. The sultan and queen greet at least 40,000 people a day during the Muslim festival of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

A unique opportunity like this allows travelers to immerse themselves in the culture of Brunei.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Brunei:

  • Currency – You can bring US, Euro, GBP, or AU money and exchange it for Brunei money at ATMs. Singapore money is the same value as Brunei money. It’s a good thing to keep in mind that your bank may receive fees because you are withdrawing money overseas. A better option to avoid fees is to go to a money changer instead.
  • Clothing – Travelers should bring modest clothing when traveling to Brunei. Shorts, miniskirts, and tank tops should be left behind. You can bring slip on shoes or sandals. It’s respectful to the culture that you embrace their laws, customs, and religion.
  • Bug Repellent – You can protect yourself from ticks and mosquitoes by bringing bug repellent. The CDC advises that you use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET to protect you for several hours.
  • Packing for Health – Your health is important, especially when you’re traveling to another part of the world. Prescription medicines, over the counter medicines, and a first aid kit are some of the essentials you need to stay healthy and avoid or treat injuries while in Brunei. If you’re planning to be outdoors a lot of the time, a SPF 15 sunscreen is a must on your trip. It will protect you from UV radiation.

The U.S. Embassy’s mission is to advance the interests of the United States as well as to serve and protect U.S. citizens in Brunei.

“Lynette“
“My family is moving to Brunei in July, I took my three boys ages 1, 3, and 4 for their vaccinations. Nurse Lynette was so patient, kind, and helpful. She even took the time to explain the vaccinations to my husband on speaker phone as I chased my kids around the office. She went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Passport Health.”
