📍Brunei Brunei is a peaceful Southeast Asian country where nature and culture remain 🇧🇳 As it is still not well known, we will introduce how to get there. [Airplane] - Kansai: No direct flights Stopping through airports in Southeast Asian countries Stopping points: Cities such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong - Kanto: Direct flights available. Royal Brunei Airlines operates [Time] - About 2.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur - About 6.5 hours from Tokyo [International Airport] - Compact, but has souvenir shops and cafes - After passing through the boarding gate, there is a Starbucks with limited edition goods (a must-see for Starbucks fans) * Please check that the store will be closed if you take a night flight [Access to the city] - It is better not to rely on buses or taxis. (I didn't see it during my stay) - Register for the Brunei-only ride-hailing app "dart" in advance (※ Usage is the same as Uber and Grab, but payment is pre-charged or cash) - Many people in Brunei own their own cars, so transportation is almost non-functional. Be careful when going from the airport to the hotel or sightseeing. [Tipping/Credit Cards] - There is no tipping culture - Credit cards can be used in most cases ※ Cash is required as they cannot be used at night markets ※ I selected charge payment on the distribution app, but sometimes I couldn't access it properly and had to pay in cash. It's reassuring to have cash just in case [Exchange] - There is an exchange office/ATM at the airport - There are banks and exchange offices in the city Please use this as a reference for your trip🔖 #Brunei #Travel to Brunei #Southeast Asia #Let's go to Asia

📍Brunei Tourist Spot: Kampong Ayer Kampong Ayer is one of the world's largest water villages, accessible by boat. Since this was a day trip, I'll introduce it along with some photos. [Introduction] What is Brunei's water village? In Brunei, while people can live on land, there are those who choose to live on the water. As a result, the village is equipped with infrastructure such as electricity and water supply, and even has facilities like fire stations, mosques, and schools. Dating back to the 1400s, the royal palace was once located within the water village, making it a place rich in history. Today, many people still live here, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience their way of life. [Access] - Water Taxi - Cost: 1 Brunei Dollar per person In addition to crossing to the water village, you can also enjoy a cruise to observe wildlife from the boat (additional charges apply). Kampong Ayer is just a 5-minute boat ride away, offering a different atmosphere from Brunei's city center. Be sure to consider it for your travel plans🔖

📍The Empire Brunei The Empire Brunei, located on the coast of Brunei🏨 It is famous as one of only two 7-star hotels in the world, and is also a tourist spot in Brunei.

Many activities available on site [Staff] English: Everyone is fluent in English Friendly atmosphere [Pick-up] Available: Separate fee required, slightly expensive [Dress and manners] There was no specific dress code, but since most of the country is Islamic, it is better to avoid revealing clothing. [+Experiences, etc.] The rooms are equipped with basic amenities, so there is no need to worry. The only thing missing is pajamas (rooms without bathrobes) You can use the restaurants and shopping even if you don't stay overnight, so if you come to Brunei, be sure to stop by🔖 #Brunei #Trip to Brunei #Southeast Asia #Trip to Asia #Let's go to Asia

📍Brunei Brunei🇧🇳, located in Southeast Asia, is not well known yet. Although it is a compact country, about the size of Mie Prefecture, it is rich in nature, culture, and history. Since I visited there for 2 nights and 3 days, I will first introduce the tourist spots. [Introduction] Brunei is a wealthy country that maintains a stable economy and high income levels thanks to its abundant oil and natural gas production. Many people are Muslim, there is a large mosque, drinking is prohibited, and prayers can be heard in the morning and evening 🕌 [Major tourist spots] ⚫︎Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque ⚫︎Jami As Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque ⚫︎Coffeeby7t1 ⚫︎Kampong Ayer ⚫︎The Mall Gadong ⚫︎Gadong Night Market ⚫︎The Empire Brunei ⚫︎Brunei International Airport Mosque This was my first time traveling here, and I'd say it's a great country for first-time overseas travelers and solo travelers, with good security, a peaceful atmosphere, clean streets, and English being widely spoken.

I took a domestic flight to Timor-Leste, a small island nation in Southeast Asia! [Check-in from arrival at the airport] When I arrived at the airport, I headed to the meeting place designated in advance. While I was waiting, an Australian pilot came to pick me up and guided me to the waiting room. After checking passenger information and the weight of my luggage in the waiting room, it was finally time to board. [Boarding the plane] I traveled by car from the waiting room to the plane. The plane had a total of seven seats and was very small. I could see the cockpit clearly. Traveling on a domestic flight in such a miniature plane is an experience that I can't often get anywhere else. [Air travel] I enjoyed the view from the sky for about 40 minutes from takeoff to arrival. I came across many views that made me feel like I was in Timor, such as the sea surrounding Timor Island, the city of Dili, the largest mountain on the island, Mt. Ramelau, and a low-water river that is typical of Timor. #TimorLeste #SoutheastAsia #Plane #Sky #Sea

I went to see the Christ the Redeemer statue in Timor-Leste, a small island nation in Southeast Asia. Timor-Leste's Cristo Rei is the second largest statue in the world after the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sadly, Japan is not depicted on the globe under the statue. [Access🚗] It takes 30 minutes by car from the city center. You can also travel by minibus called Miklolet. You can view the statue up close by climbing the stairs for 15 to 20 minutes. Along the way, you can enjoy beautiful views of the sea and the capital city of Dili. #TimorLeste #SoutheastAsia #PhotogenicSpot

Mahanakhon Tower, also known as the highest observation deck in Thailand 💥 The unique design makes it a symbolic building of Bangkok 🇹🇭 📍Location Directly connected to BTS Chong Nonsi Station (located in the center, one stop from Silom/Sala Daeng Station) 📍Opening hours Daily 10:00-24:00 📍Price Official price 1,000 baht (about 4,300 yen) Can be purchased at a discounted price in advance on trip.com ☝️ ✅The building has a spa, a Thai food court, and duty-free shopping stores, so you can enjoy it for various purposes. The building is on a luxurious site, but there are local food and massages in the surrounding area, so you can enjoy Thailand in various ways ☺️ ⚠️The sun is strong during the day, so sunscreen is a must! You'll burn in no time, even in a short time 😧 During the rainy season (June to October), if it rains heavily, you obviously can't see the scenery or take photos, so if possible, I recommend the dry season ☝️ On the glass floor in the first photo, you have to cover your shoes to prevent the floor from getting dirty, and all belongings, including cell phones, are prohibited from being brought in to avoid breaking the glass 🚫 #Introducing stunning views overseas #Thailand #Skyscrapers #Bangkok #Mahanakhon Tower #Photogenic spots #Overseas travel #Southeast Asia

📍Location: Komodo Island and other surrounding islands 2 nights in Labuan Island, 1-day tour in the middle. In conclusion, it was a very enjoyable day! ❤️ On the day of arrival, go to the city and apply for the tour first. You can book a tour right away in the city center, so it's enough to book the day before. However, be careful as there will be more boats with over capacity after the evening departure. We were picked up at the hotel at 6am and departed around 6:30am. We will visit not only Komodo Island but also several islands in one day. A spectacular view after hiking and climbing up. A spectacular view of the pink beach that is pinker than I expected. A spectacular view of manta rays visiting the crystal clear sea. A spectacular view! And I was moved when I met the Komodo dragon. I was lucky to meet a large Komodo dragon walking 🙌 If you get bitten, bacteria will enter your body and you will definitely die, so be careful. (Local staff said that there have been several cases in the past 😱) You will return to Labuan Island at dusk. You will be moving around a lot, so make sure to book a hotel where you can relax 😌 Please come and experience something out of the ordinary with a one-day Komodo tour ✨ #Indonesia #Komodo #KomodoIsland #indonesia #komodo #komodoisland #komododragons #komodonationalpark #KomodoDragon #SoutheastAsian #SoutheastAsianTravel #OverseasTravel #Ocean #Hiking #beach #hiking #breathtakingview #pinkbeach #pinkbeach #trip #trip #040photo

📍Location: Monkey Forest Ubud 💰Price per person: IDR80,000/100,000 weekdays/weekends Easy access from the center of Ubud, you're sure to meet lots of monkeys! I was very satisfied to be able to observe monkeys from small to old so close. The babies are especially cute❤️❤️ Be careful, you might get bitten if you get too close or try to touch them. They look cute, but they're aggressive. I got bitten on my finger, but when I asked the staff, they said they didn't have any bacteria. All the monkeys are numbered and managed, so it's safe even if you get bitten. Be careful with sunglasses and hats, as they might steal your belongings. Keep them all in your bag! If you are going to Ubud, please be sure to visit this place 🙌 #IndonesiaTrip #Indonesia #Ubud #indonesia #ubud #monkeyforestubud #monkeyforest #monkey #monkeyforest #overseastravel #SoutheastAsian #040photo

We are Nicolena, a Japanese-Italian couple who love Asia and cost-effective travel✈︎ Here is a summary of how to get from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok to Bangkok city😆 There are 4 ways to get from the airport to the city👇 ▶️Train ▶️Taxi (public taxi/Grab) ▶️Private charter ▶️Bus The cheapest and fastest way is the train, but it may not be the most comfortable as there is no luggage storage and it may be crowded💦 You will also need to transfer to get to major areas such as Sukhumvit, Silom, and Siam If you arrive early in the morning or late at night, we recommend a taxi or a private charter😍 As for taxis, you can wait for a public taxi at the taxi stand or use the ride-hailing app Grab to get a taxi. There is a way to call a taxi, but be careful because public taxis can take a long time at the stand during peak times👍 Grab is faster than public taxis, but the price tends to be higher↗️ Private charters are the most secure, safe and comfortable, but they are also the most expensive💰 However, if you split the cost at 2,700 yen per car, it's not that expensive, so I think it's totally worth it The advantage of taking a bus is that you can go to Siam, Silom, and Khaosan without changing buses✨ It's nice that you can also leave your luggage there😉 Taxis, private charters, and buses vary quite a bit in travel time depending on the traffic, so be careful about that #AsiaTravel #Thailand #ThailandTrip #Bangkok #BangkokTrip #BangkokInfo #SoutheastAsian #OverseasTrip #OverseasTripTrip

We are Nicolena, a Japanese-Italian couple who love Asia and cost-effective travel✈︎ Here is a summary of things you should know before going to Thailand☺️ Thailand and Japan have different cultures, customs, and public safety, so things will be different from Japan😳 It is important to have some prior knowledge so that you can have a safe and comfortable stay and avoid violating etiquette🙌 It is especially important in terms of health and safety to be careful of things like "don't drink tap water" and "beware of pickpockets and snatchers"🚫 ① Don't drink tap water🚰 → Mineral water Drink alcohol ② Be aware of the dress code at temples👖 → Some temples prohibit tank tops and shorts ③ You may not be able to flush toilet paper🚽 → Many hotels have toilets that can flush toilet paper if the hotel is 4 stars or higher ④ Be careful of rip-offs from taxis and tuk-tuks🚕 → Ask the taxi to turn on the meter → Negotiate the fare before getting in the tuk-tuk ⑤ Be careful of traffic jams😵💫 → Traffic jams during rush hour in Bangkok are terrible! Use the BTS or subway ⑥ Be careful of pickpockets and snatchers👜 → Carry a bag with a zipper, and carry your backpack in front of you in crowded places ⑦ There are no toothbrushes at hotels🪥 → It seems that they are not provided in the rooms by default. If you ask the front desk, they may give you one. ⑧ Be careful of the outlet and voltage🔌 → Most hotels accept Japanese type A plugs, but it might be safer to have a converter plug. → The voltage in Thailand is 220V, and in Japan it's 100V. ⑨ Be careful of mosquitoes (dengue fever)🦟 → You can catch dengue fever from mosquitoes, so be sure to take precautions against mosquitoes! ⑩ Be careful that there is a dry season and a rainy season☔️ → The rainy season is from June to October. However, it doesn't rain all day, it feels like a squall. #Asia travel #Thailand #Thailand trip #Bangkok #Bangkok trip #Bangkok information #Thailand information #Southeast Asia #Overseas travel #Overseas travel trip

If you want to stay for a long time, now is the time! 👍) ✅Climate☀️ It's hot no matter when you go, so it's nice to be able to go with light luggage🙌 (average temperature around 30°) Purchase T-shirts and the famous Thai pants locally🥻 ✅Prices💸 With the weak yen making it more difficult to travel abroad, Thailand is definitely recommended! You can eat at food stalls for about 300 yen🍽️ The initial taxi fare is about 160 yen (beware of rip-offs⚠️) A 600ml bottle of water costs about 30 yen at a convenience store A 1-hour massage costs less than 1,000 yen✨ ✅Transportation🚙 Download the Grab and Bolt ride-hailing apps in advance☝️Easy travel by taxi or motorbike🚗 With the app, you can find out the fare in advance, and you can register your destination in advance so you don't have to tell the driver, so it's safe☺️ There is a lot of traffic, so during rush hours such as commuting and leaving work, it is recommended to go by train or motorbike instead of driving! #ThailandTrip #Thailand #OverseasTrip #SouthEastEastAsia #Bangkok #EntryRelatedInformation #PhotogenicSpots #Photogenic #EntryRelatedInformation

The Philippines is a Southeast Asian country that is easy to get to from Japan and has a significantly lower price point. In fact, if you don't know this, you'll be surprised when ordering at a restaurant in the Philippines, so be careful⚠️ That's because when you order takeout at most restaurants in the Philippines, a "container fee" of around 30 yen is added to the total amount of the order⚠️ In Japan, 10% consumption tax is applied if you eat inside, but if you takeout, only 8% consumption tax is applied, so it's a bit surprising that you can sometimes order takeout more cheaply😳 It's certainly more eco-friendly to pay for the container fee, so it might make sense🤭 By the way, in restaurants in the Philippines, you can take out leftover food, but be careful because you often have to pay for the container fee at this time too💡 Please use this as a reference for your trip😉 #Southeast Asia #solo trip #solo girls trip #overseas trip #Southeast Asia trip #around 30 trip #cost-effective trip #Philippines #Philippine trip #overseastraveltrip

Brunei🇧🇳 is a safe country with friendly people. I was able to enjoy my trip safely even as a woman traveling alone! There is an art museum built with oil money, and the food is delicious and cheap! It is a hidden country that can be enjoyed even in the current climate of high prices and a strong yen☺︎ There are also famous countries such as Singapore and Malaysia nearby, so it is also recommended to visit them on the way! #0yentripFebruary2025 #cheap #southeastasia #safe #solotrip #solotravel #solotravelgirl #trip
