One of the best things about living in a small country is that everything is within reach. But one of the most frustrating things is trying to look for stuff when shops are anywhere and anyhow. I’m writing this post to consolidate information about the different hobby shops in Brunei and where to find them. At worse case, at least you can contact them with a good Google search, right?

How I define “Hobby shops in Brunei”

First off, this list will not, and is not meant to, list every little toy shop in the Sultanate. I categorise a “hobby shop” here by including any shops which sells model kits or anything that supplements scale modelling.
