After 10 years, I have returned to the country that I enjoyed THE LEAST in all of my travels… Brunei. It’s a tiny country on Borneo island, sandwiched in between Malaysia and Indonesia, and I was very nervous to go back. Why? Because my last video there was all about how much I hated it, and I was so worried that I would be thrown in jail by the government, or even yelled at by the locals…. But this time around, I went in with fresh eyes and a new perspective, and I really enjoyed it!!!
I met up with a local Bruneian friend from Instagram named Bryant, and he took me under his wing to show me his version of Brunei. And what we discovered will seriously blow your mind!!

Who has been to Brunei? I'd love to hear your thoughts about the country! And if you haven't been, feel free to fire away any questions and I will get back to you!
RESPECT…..
funny how the height of your trip was leaving brunei so you can have an actual night out
Welcome to Mexico lol😊
Also did you know back then bruneians used jawi instead of letters as our main language like "masuk" would be said normally but the writing would be in jawi!
As a Muslim guy who doesn’t drink or smoke, eats only Halal food, is socially awkward, likes to stay at home, loves mosques and staying at home, hates noisy places, cherishes evenings in with family and friends, prefers traditional values and dislikes social degeneracy, Brunei doesn’t look too bad!
One person’s heaven is another person’s hell, and vice versa. Every nation is strict in some way or the other, depending on who’s toes you step on. There are a lot of things I have to “tolerate” as a foreigner working in the UK, and the risk of cancellation is real even amidst all the supposed freedoms we are told we have. As long as we stay humble and respect each other, we can learn and grow instead of looking down on others.
The fact that your channel hasn't blow up is because of fake narratives. Did it EVER occur to you? Brunei has and is still an Islamic Sultanate and no matter you would try portray it otherwise is gokh to change the fact that THEY DON'T WANT YOU THERE!
looks allright but the hottness is not something cool
This motherfucker started going political
hey look, the scammer is going back to a country who doesn't want him there… faking content, scamming your community, asking internet people for wedding gifts, NFT scam…. WHAT IS NEXT????!
Drew you deserve the highest compliment I could give to a man. You're a canny lad.
I've been to Brunei and I must say it was one of my best trips ever. We had to "hitchhike" our way to the Malaysian border. Throughout my journey, every single local tried to help me get the transportation I needed. A family even offered me a ride to the last 2km before the border. The reason why I went to Brunei is because I had seen your video about it and I wanted to check out if it was really "that bad". My trip proves that it all depends on your personal experiences throughout your journey. I'm glad you gave it a second chance!
This looks rehearsed. They called you back to put on their smiles. The original video is the moment of truth.
For jew you love pork too much
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multimillionaires, all thanks to Mrs Anna , God bless you ma 👏
haha sounds like that Sultan gave Drew the bag for this video lol
Next you could maybe you could also give Chad another chance
I miss the ambuyat!
While you’re on the island, do explore Malaysia’s Bornean States of Sabah and Sarawak. And don’t forget the Indonesian Kalimantan.
I had a hunch this was what people in Brunei did if they want a night on the town – it's so obvious from Google Earth.
Sarawak is probably the most liberal state in Malaysia, and Miri is an oil town with strong expat vibes.
banning cigarettes is not a bad thing actually lol
10:53 that man's getting stoned to death
Their biggest strength is their command of English language.
That woman with the interior designer's son, why he talk like like LGBTQ. 😊😅
I'm Malaysian, but guy probably got held gun point by their federal agents to make this video LMAOOO
Respect to Brunei by following their beliefs, and not bending over to the demonic family disrupting agenda
wow you visit a lot of place Sir
Thanks Drew for giving it a second chance.❤
Nice to see Drew had a better experience on his return visit to Brunei. I doubt he'll be revisiting Chad anytime soon though. 🙃
After watching this 0:13 part of the video I have a lot of respect and love for this country fuck lgbt
Just a thought. Perhaps the guy who kicked you out of the mosque should have greeted you and explained himself. That could be a nice closure to your perception of Brunei, Drew.
I hope the thief paid you and your tourism guide enough🎉🎉😂😂😂
Thanks for doing this video Drew! We are all guilty of judging a whole country by the actions of a few bad apples. Lots of respect for doing this.
in 21:34 the street signs are in arabic letters NOT in arabic (big difference). It's like you saying that english, french, italian,… are the same language just because they use the same letters of the alphabet.
It's…odd how you haven't to leave the country (just outside the border) to see any "fun" nightlife
As an introvert, I really hate it when people equate quiet with boring. Quiet can be enjoyable too, just like, there are times when you want to enjoy loud bars. I love that Brunei looks clean and peaceful. Though, I wonder if there are gay people there and how they cope. Are there museums or creative outlets for people? You keep mentioning that the streets are dead, but why? Hopefully, in your next visit, you can explore how locals live, what they do for fun, etc… Free healthcare & education, that's awesome
