Brunei is a wonderful place, very rich culture, people come in different nationalities.. I lived there for quite sometime, spent my childhood there, and educated there as well. There isn't much to do in Brunei, except for visiting istanas, malls, which I believe, the US and European brands are more expensive when bought there, but the food is great, you should try eating kway-teow, nasi lemak, sate, and the list goes on, and oh, there's this halo halo, they call it champur champur, my fave it's their version of halo halo. We stayed in Seria, where you can see a lot of "donkeys" not the animal, but it's this structure used in getting oil or something, they call it "donkey." We used to go to SRC, it's a recreational club exclusive for Shell employees, it's there where I learned to swim, I dunno if SRC is still there. Kuala Belait is also a nice place, a lot of shops, but Seria is nicer and oh not to mention Jerudong Park, it's like Enchanted Kingdom here. The admission is totally free, we had the chance to watch Janet Jackson performed there for free, even had the front seat heheh. Brunei is a small country, it's only a dot on the map, you really can tour the whole country for a day and also, you can even go to Miri, Malaysia by car. We did that every weekends.. sigh, miss those days back in Brunei, it's nice to reminisce that wonderful country.. sorry, quite lengthy

Here's what I did:

KK to Brunei - took Malaysia Airlines flight P1,932 (35 mins)
Brunei to KK - took a ferry from Brunei to Labuan P512, speedboat from Labuan to Menumbok P210, Van from Menumbok to KK P420 = P1,142 (6 hours) - i will never ever do this again, kakapagod!

My advice: just take the plane, either Malaysia Airline or Air Asia.

I saw a roundtrip ticket KK-Brunei via Airasia 1500 lang on my preferred dates kaysa naman mapagod ako sa boat et al na 1,142 parang sulit na din

KK to Brunei
* Get to the Point Jesselton Ferry Terminal in Kota Kinabalu at around 7:00am; earlier if a weekend. The terminal is a 20-minute walk from the center of town. At the terminal you can buy a "package" of two ferry trips (KK-Labuan and Labuan-Brunei) for RM56 (including the RM3 departure tax). You can also buy this package in advance, which is advisable for weekends and holidays, but you need to have your passport with you when you do so.
* The ferry to Labuan leaves KK at 8:00am and arrives in Labuan at 11:15am. In Labuan, you'll have some time for lunch (and cheap beer!), shopping and perhaps a quick visit to the Labuan Museum, or maybe a cab ride to and from the Labuan War Cemetery.
* The ferry to Brunei leaves at 1:30pm; immigration and boarding begin at 1:00pm. You need to pay a departure tax of RM10 at the ticket office. The ferry journey takes between one and one-and-a-half hours.
* Once in Brunei, you'll go through immigration and customs at the Serasa Ferry Terminal. You can change money at the terminal. Then you board a shuttle to Bandar Seri Begawan. The shuttle costs B$2 and takes about 40 minutes to arrive at the bus terminal in BSB, in the southeast corner of the city. You will arrive in BSB sometime around 4:00pm.

Bandar Seri Begawan to Kota Kinabalu
* Take the earliest express bus to the Serasa Ferry Terminal: it leaves at 6:40am from the last bay in the bus terminal in Bandar Seri Begawan, which is next to the bay for Bus #39. It costs B$2, and the trip takes about 40 minutes, getting you to the ferry terminal in time to buy a ticket for the 8:30am ferry departure to Labuan. (If you miss this for some reason, there's also a 9:00am ferry.)
* The ferry to Labuan costs B$15. Unlike the KK-Brunei direction, there is no two-ferry "package," nor can you book tickets in advance. You can change your remaining Brunei dollars to Malaysian Ringgit, but remember to save B$1 to pay the departure tax. The ferry ride takes between one and one-and-a-half hours.
* When you arrive in Labuan, you will go through immigration and customs; immediately afterward, go to the ticketing office and buy a ticket for the 1:00pm ferry, which seems to be the last ferry of the day to Kota Kinabalu. This costs RM34 for lower deck, RM39 for upper deck. Now you have a few hours to explore Labuan and have lunch. (Note: There's no left-luggage facilities nor tourist information desk in the ferry terminal.)
* The 1:00pm ferry arrives at the Point Jesselton Ferry Terminal in Kota Kinabalu at around 4:15pm. The terminal is an easy 20-minute walk from the center of town.

di ko kaya ito.


=-=-=-=-=
Question:
Kung ang arrival ko ay around 5pm at ang departure ko ay 5pm the next day malilibot ko na ba ang dapat kong malibot? or hassle ang biyahe ko?

Ilang hours before departure kami dapat nasa Airport?
Ano ang mga dapat namin anticipate na expenses like airport taxes etc.?
