Brunei is especially
rich in its own style of traditional
crafts, ensuring that any of your buys
at one of the nation’s many handicrafts
centres and shops will be unique items
to be treasured for years to come. Some
examples include the resplendent gold
or silver-threaded material known as
Jong Sarat and collector textiles called
Kain Tenunan, both of which can be purchased
from the Arts and Handicraft Training
Centre at Kota Batu and also at the
Brunei International Airport. Handmade
with an ancient method passed down for
generations, Jong Sarat is often worn
during weddings or other formal occasions.
Aside from traditional cloths, other
items that reflect the rich craftsmanship
of Brunei are brassware and silverware,
replica canons, the traditional dagger
known as the kris, gongs, basketry and
other unique items.
Some of the best places in Brunei to
