Brunei Discovery

BRUNEI IS A DRY COUNTRY. This is the SEA challenge where you bring your own wine through customs, drink in your hotel room, and marvel at gold-domed mosques funded by oil wealth. 30,000 people live in stilt houses over the Brunei River. The Sultan's hotel has gold leaf everywhere. Pristine rainforest canopy walkway 50m above ground. Most travelers skip Brunei - that's the appeal. SEA's weirdest 48 hours.
