Go BackUntil the turn of the 20th century, Kuala Belait was nothing more than a fishing village. Historically, the administrative centre of the district was at Kuala Balai, which is further up the Belait River. However, when petroleum was discovered in Padang Berawa (now called Seria), a new administrative centre was built at the mouth of the Belait River to ease communication.
Getting Around
If you do not have your own transport, the best way is to take a taxi. The taxi stand is at the north end of Jalan Pretty, the main road, facing the local HSBC Building. Taxi fares start at B$3.00. The bus stop is across from the taxi stand.Towns in Kuala Belait
- Labi
- Seria is a town in the Belait district of Brunei. This is the heart of Brunei's oil production centre, and the coast between Seria and Kuala Belait is where you can see the housing for those involved in the petroleum industry. The Pan Borneo Highway connects Seria with the other towns in Brunei, and continues to Sarawak and Sabah. You can catch a bus here from Bandar Seri Begawan, but better still if you can rent a car and drive here.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
