Brunei is a small, but thanks to its natural resources a very rich country located in south-east Asia. It is surrounded by Malaysia and sits on the vital sea routes connecting the Pacific to the Indian Ocean.

While Brunei has long been synonymous with opulence and oil money you should not ignore the fact that the country has reinvested in its own country. Its rainforests have not been turned into palm-oil plantations, primary forest abound, especially in the dense, green Ulu Temburong National Park.
