Digital Nomad Life in Brunei
Summary: Brunei is not a popular destination for digital nomads. The most popular cities for digital nomads are Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and Bali. Digital nomads like living in Brunei because of its low cost of living, excellent infrastructure, and friendly locals. A digital nomad can live on a monthly budget of around $1,000 in Brunei. The culture of Brunei is a mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences. Brunei is a very conservative country, and visitors should respect local customs and traditions. The country is known for its beautiful mosques, lush rainforests, and stunning beaches.
How do I meet people in Brunei?
When we asked people living in Brunei about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Expats in Brunei often join clubs and activities such as the Brunei Expat Club, which organizes events and activities for expats to meet and socialize. Expats can also join sports clubs, such as the Brunei Rugby Club, or join a local gym. Other ways for expats to meet people in Brunei include attending local events, such as the Brunei International Festival, or joining a local church or temple. Expats can also join online forums and social media groups to connect with other expats living in Brunei," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Brunei.
