Hot is 1 thing. During summer, most places of interest and hotels have surcharge at least 30% increase. So avoid travelling in summer if holidaying to 4 seasons countries.

I'll recommend you to stay 02 nites in Jeju. So many things to see in Jeju. But if your time is limited, then stay 1 nite.

Unless you follow the package tour, I noticed most forumers that travel independent book direct with the airline's website.

If u buy flight ticket only with them, they charge you extra between RM20-RM60 depending on the price of the ticket. For me, I do not see any reason to buy from them when I can buy directly from the airlines.

QUOTE(divasweet_77 @ Jun 14 2011, 01:12 AM)
ye dear I know..
I'm asking about buying the flight tickets only not booking the whole tour...
I too an independent traveller going to Korea again for the 6th time but it will be the 1st time going to Jeju Island

Added on June 14, 2011, 2:30 pmYour description sound like Hongik area. My suggestion to you. Stay 1 nite in Hongdae/Hongik area if you worry about commuting after late nite outing.

QUOTE(^mekmek^ @ Jun 14 2011, 02:14 PM)
i heard hongdae is quite a happening place at night, and the shops usually close very late at night. my plan is to visit the places of interest in the morning, since they are accessible via public transport. and then we will spend our nights in hongdae as most attractions will be closed by then. If we were to stay in hongdae, we wont have to worry on the transport back to myeongdong if we decide to stay out late. Any comments on this?

But very funny because my friend tried to book for March next year, but she couldn't book it due to the pricing not out yet hmm.gif

QUOTE(divasweet_77 @ Jun 15 2011, 02:30 PM)
I guess it's more or less like our own AA, it can be up to a year or a bit more.. I booked Ryan Air '0' fare from london to Rome also a year in advanced same like the AA ticket.. I guess it's a normal practice.. how cheap you can get also depends on the promo..

Do u have any recommendation for car/van rental with driver??

QUOTE(tenten.wikuta @ Jun 16 2011, 03:21 PM)
Ah yep, the price is slightly higher but still among the cheapest. But for me, it is truly value for money. End of September on the 26th.

You can rent car, scooter, bike, private taxi, private van, but using bus will save your wallet big time.

I did email to them but never reply. I send 3 times also never reply. I got fed up with people who don't reply email but advertise their service.

60 thousand Won per hour or per day??


QUOTE(tenten.wikuta @ Jun 17 2011, 02:59 PM)
Ah sorry, I dont have one. Since I have used only bus to travel around there. But for taxi rental with driver, you need to pay around 60k Won and must pay for the driver's lunch if I am not mistaken.

Some forumer from the south korea v1 thread did rent a van. You can search at the previous thread because I dont remember who.

Added on June 18, 2011, 9:23 amMat salleh are not like Asians. Their holiday can stretch to 2 months and some spend 2-3 weeks at one place. Doing nothing just lazing around. My customer spend 03 weeks in Nexus Karambunai in Kota Kinabalu. I asked them, what were you guys doing there for 3 weeks. They went for swimming, sun bathing and reading books by the beach or just snoozed at the beach.

QUOTE(michaelyii1988 @ Jun 17 2011, 10:00 PM)
17days on Jeju island..holy.. 1 day 1 attraction ar?lol

Added on June 18, 2011, 9:29 amTenten, you mean we can approach the taxi at the airport for the disposal usage or it is better to look around at the guest house area??

How to contact this super popular ah jussi?? biggrin.gif

QUOTE(tenten.wikuta @ Jun 17 2011, 05:23 PM)
60k Won for half of the day. I think full day would cost you 90k Won. Majority of the drivers speak very little English, but they will try to explain using their super broken english so you will understand. Very cute hehe. There is one guy, by the name of Goh-hyung (he didnt want me to call him ahjussi), very popular among tourist. He's a perfect driver/tourist guide. But you have to book him early since he is booked almost everyday. There was one time, he was booked for 17days straight by a family from Sweden to show them around Jeju.

But dont be fooled, there are drivers who would take you around for 120k Won. Jeju is divided into 4 district and if you want him to travel cross-boundary, you have to pay extra. So 120k Won + extra. So when you book, be really clear of where you want to go. Tell him, the places that you want to go and ask them the price before hand.

Added on June 18, 2011, 9:34 amWah!! their plastic surgery so bloody expensive ler. Penang is more cheaper. Many mat salleh do boob job and also nose job in Penang at much more lower price. Penang famous for its this kind of stuff too. I have also customer from Indonesia asked me to bring them there.

Yes, I did email to them and Sylvia personally reply to me. I decided to book 02 nites because on Day 01 I will arrive at 9am. I want to chk in first and freshen up before go for my tour. Therefore, I book 02 nites.

QUOTE(divasweet_77 @ Jun 19 2011, 07:04 PM)
did you contact them about this? coz I saw in the website only room 102 & 206 require a 2 day min stay.. it doesn't saya anything about the rest of the room.

I do not recommend Tae Gong Gak. I send email to book 02 nites even though I stay 1 nite (I arrive early on Day 01) but Sylvia refused my booking. Reason being, I stay 1 nite. I wonder, why can't she take 02 nites booking since I wanted to chk in early?? It is normal for any accommodation to practice that.

I will not go the place where my money is not needed. She shouldn't be in the tourism industry. She does not know what flexibility is.
