Hi,

What do you usually do on your weekends in Brunei?

Are there any places to visit, any activities, any events or festivals regularly organized you would like to recommend?

What are your top tips for the weekend in Brunei?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Christine

Some of the expatriates have their own weekend activities. . They have their own clubs .
Some will go border for shopping and some will go golfing..swimming at the club..It really depends on what you really like..

Hi Christine,

I'm new to this forum and just see this message, so hopefully still of use:

Reserve 1 weekend (at least every 6 weeks) to escape to nearby Miri or another 'deal' to explore what's around Brunei.
Seek membership at the Royal Brunei Yacht Club, IMO the only "expat social ground" where you always bump into somebody you know.
Colleagues from work, parents at school: very diverse group here in BN, incl. some interesting characters for sure.
Hiking in the several parks: take GPS as back-up if you tend to explore the more lonely paths (99% safe, but don't get lost)
Beaches: few facilities, so back to basics and ensure you wear bug-spray for sandflies
Entertain at home: if possible you have a pool and can invite people over, to enjoy a drink and improve the BBQ skills

Hope it gives you some ideas.
Cheers,

Paul
