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.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
