Salam & Hello!

Just wanna get ur opinion on my 'summer' trip to Korea on 9th-23th August, 2011. I'm gonna go with 3 of my friends, backpacking & just gamble all long the way wink.gif But still i hope can hear some of ur opinion about my plan:

Duration: 15 days
Places & days:

Day 1: Malaysia --> Seoul (AirAsia)

Day 2-4: Seoul

Day 5: Seoul --> Busan (via KTX)

Day 6, 7: Busan

Day 8: Busan-Jeju Island(Asiana Air)

Day 9-11: Jeju Island

Day 12: Jeju --> Busan --> Seoul

Day 13 & 14: Seoul

Day 15: Seoul --> Malaysia

And some question:

1) What do you think about my plan?

2) Can i just know how much(roughly) will the food cost at Seoul, Busan & Jeju?

3) In Busan, there are famous Island(i cant remember the name), but do you think it'll be worth it to visit it?

4) Are there any places that'll not be open on summer?

5) In Jeju, what do you think the must-go places?

6) Is it enough to round Seoul in 5-6 days?

Salam..
1) The plan looks good, plenty of time to walk about & enjoy. I just wonder on Day 12, why do you need to go back to Busan instead of going straight away to Seoul via plane? It will cost you more money..
2) Food costs varies ranging from 4000won to 10,000 won per dish. Street food normally cheaper. (Note - if you go to Itaewon for Nasi Beriyani etc price mostly from 8000won - 12,000 won).
3) Won't be able to answer as I only explore Busan market area.. I suggest you go there & share your experience with us  tongue.gif
4) The places in Jeju that I like & would like to recommend
     i) Seongsan Ilchubong Peak - A bit tiring for me to climb but love the view from top (lots of stairs)
     ii) Seopjikaji
     iii) The waterfalls : Jeongbang, Cheonjiyeon
     I like scenary based location hence the above recommendation. Someone suggested to go to Jungmun Resort, but I have not enough time to go there.
5) It should be okay.

Thanks!

About the Day 12, what do you mean by that? Do u mean one-way ticket is cheaper than return? Bcos i;m gonna take a plane from Busan - Jeju(return ticket)..

Or do you have any better idea + cheaper cost..

Again, thanks for the tips & info! =)

Hello, regarding flight ticket(domestic)

From Busan - Jeju (return ticket) : RM352

Is it a reasonable price?

Because i'm thinking to travel from Seoul - Busan via KTX train(RM125 or cheaper) & from Busan - Jeju(RM352)..

hi dauf87, how about the price for Jeju to Seoul?

QUOTE(rsralf @ Aug 3 2011, 08:32 AM)
You have to compare the price this way:

1) (Return flight ticket Busan-Jeju-Busan) RM352 + (KTX Busan-Seoul) RM152 = RM504
(I use your earlier given figure)

WITH

2) One way flight (Busan - Jeju) + One way flight (Jeju - Seoul)
Since I don't know what date you are going, I use my previous figure: RM228 + RM111 = RM339
(But please check the ticket price according to your date, ok)
Ok here's the plan & price.

If One-way ticket:

1) Busan Jeju (16/8) = RM176
2) Jeju - Gimpo Int'l Airport (20/8) = RM329 (Asiana Airlines)

Total = RM505

If Round ticket + KTX Train:

1) Busan - Jeju Round ticket = RM352 (Asiana Airlines)
2) Busan - Seoul via KTX Train = RM125

Total = RM 450

----------------------------

Not that much difference, but if i consider time, energy etc. The one-way trip is better right??

And what is EAStar? There's no flight from EAStar if i search from KAYAK.com.. And do you think it'll be cheaper than Asiana Airlines?

And if so, how can i contact them & from where can i buy it?

One question :

Regarding car rental in Jeju, what are the requirements that i need to be able to drive in Jeju?
Do i need the International Car License, or are there any better alternatives?

Thanks!
