Brunei - so close but full of mystery

19/01/2015

More than half of the Rolls Royces produced in the world are owned by Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei and that is just a small part of his huge fortune.

Although only a 2-hour direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City, the majority of Vietnamese people know the kingdom of Brunei through a few pieces of information: a member of ASEAN and rich thanks to oil and gas resources. Perhaps football fans will remember the memories of the 1999 SEA Games held here with the beautiful goal and the "flag-saluting" celebration of famous player Hong Son.

Brunei is a Southeast Asian country with an area of ​​less than 6,000km2 and a population of approximately 400,000 people. This country with the largest oil and gas reserves in Southeast Asia is famous for its luxurious architectural works, the quality of life of its people is always guaranteed at an optimal level with social welfare, health care, good jobs, high salaries, tax exemption for the people. However, Brunei always carries within itself a quiet, calm atmosphere, it seems that all the hustle and bustle of the world has no effect on this beautiful Islamic country.

The pace of life here is very slow and leisurely. There are no bustling, bustling entertainment areas, no grand art performances, life seems very boring, but this difference gives Brunei a rustic, simple look as well as discipline and order in today's era.

Brunei has more than 75% of its area covered by primeval forests and long, wide coral beaches. There are many magnificent and lavishly decorated mosques with investments of up to hundreds of millions of dollars. The King's Palace is considered the largest palace in the world with 1,778 rooms with exquisite gold-plated interiors. High-class 6-star hotels covering hundreds of hectares with rental prices of tens of thousands of dollars per night are reserved for heads of state and international figures.

Just taking the time to admire the beauty and splendor of this rich country, visitors can only be amazed and amazed. Brunei is truly a prosperous and prosperous kingdom.

The King's Super Car Collection

In the world of supercars, Rolls Royces are an undeniable pinnacle, ordering and waiting to own a car with the Spirit of Ecstasy symbol on the hood symbolizes the owner's class. But there is a saying that "Roll Royces can use strict and rigid British policies with any customer except Mr. B", let's add that Mr. B is the Sultan of Brunei, Bolkiah. It is understandable because more than half of the number of Rolls Royces produced in the world are owned by this king.

In Brunei, the king is the symbol of prosperity and wealth of this country. King Haji Hassanal Bolkiah is the 29th king of the kingdom of Brunei. The king is one of the richest and most powerful figures in the world. He owns a huge fortune including private planes plated with pure gold and crystal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, car collections of luxury brands in the world with a quantity of more than 7,000 cars. The king is willing to spend a lot of money to own the most luxurious and modern car models in the world. A simple calculation is that if the king uses 01 car every day, it will take more than 3 years to be able to sit in all those cars, of course, on the condition that this collection does not... increase in number.

Where bottled water is more expensive than petrol

What do you think when you buy a liter of gasoline for 0.4 dollars (equivalent to 8,000 VND) and a bottle of mineral water for 0.8 dollars (equivalent to 16,000 VND)? That answer is obvious in Brunei, where gasoline is not scarce and expensive. The government supports and guarantees the needs of the people, that is why the price of gasoline is always "cheap as free".

A country with many interesting places that will attract tourists to come. With the appearance of Royal Brunei Airlines in Vietnam, traveling to Brunei has become easier than ever.
