Thank you for the inspiration! I am taking a similar trip (just backwards since I am staring in Kota Kinabalu!) and your blog really helped me with my planning!

Hey Jasmine,

Thank you for the comments! I glad you found the guide useful! Wasn't it one of the most border crossing in a day you have ever done? 2 pages of my passport got filled up with stamps in a day traveling through Borneo haha.


Hope to see you again in Borneo next time.. you missed out quite a lot of good places in Borneo especially for Sabah part.. where the best islands are in Semporna, Kinabatangan river, tip of Borneo in Kudat, Tusan Cliff in Miri, The Pinnacles Mulu National Park and you should stay at the rural side of Sarawak, the iban longhouses..

Thank you for the comments! Yes, I know! There's plenty more to do around there. I just didn't have enough time for it. There's always a chance that I'll go back there soon so no worries. It was also always rainy when I was there so didn't do much :)

Thank you for the suggestions!

Regarding Brunei, do you know if there are busses between Miri and Brunei. I know there used to be PHLS Express Bus, but looks like it might have stopped running.
