Bruneians love to shop,
and shopping is one of everyone’s
favourite leisure time activities. These
days, with shopping complexes popping
up throughout the nation’s four
districts, shopping opportunities in
Brunei are beginning to draw an international
audience as well.
Shoppers are generally spoilt for choice
in Brunei. From traditional markets
and tiny boutique shops to huge shopping
complexes, visitors and locals alike
will find opportunities to indulge their
shopping fancy. Offering a wide variety
of goods at incredibly competitive prices,
shoppers can pick up anything ranging
from market trinkets sold at 50 cents
to chandeliers and antique furniture
priced at a few thousand dollars.
There are many unique treasures that
can be found in Brunei, including earthenware
ornaments, gilded curios, exotic furniture
designs, Chinese urns, brocade tablecloths,
mats and door hangings, Indian finery,
Thai haute couture, the latest electronics
– all of these and more can be
found tucked away in some corner of
a dusty shop or glittering department
store.
It is easy to shop in the Sultanate
because all major credit cards (American
Express, VISA, Diner’s Club and
MasterCard) are widely accepted.
