Most of us here self drive and travel on our own. But you can try driver guide in Jeju. I've met some of them. They speak fluent English. This one guy I met in Majanggul Caves. His name is Wan Mons. Well, that was written on his call card

When I met him in Majanggul Caves in Jeju, he was with several Malaysians. He was their driver cum tour guide. He works in the hotel line for 18 years and speak good English. Maybe you can email to him at maarooii@yahoo.co.kr or calling him to his hp at +82-10-3697-2303.

only 02 hours & 40 minutes. The earliest leaving Seoul at 0530hrs. This is super high speed train at 300km/h.

Added on May 11, 2012, 11:51 amThis is my brief programme. I am still looking around for more infos. I wanted to spend more time outside Seoul actually. So my itinerary will depend on how much information I can get.

Yes, that's why I want to try this train instead of taking a plane. I' m so excited already.

OK, tks Bro. I will gather information first.

I remember the journey, but I don't remember the train station name coz got several interchange. I am in Thailand now. I'll be back tmrw. I give you the details tmrw.

BTW, from Gapyeong (the station where you have to stop to go Nami Island), you can take taxi to Nami Island. Cost only KRW3000. Upon arrival in Gapyeong station, chk out the Tourist Information Centre. Get the brochure on shuttle bus schedule so that you can plan what time you can leave Nami Island to Petite France. Once you arrive Petite France, chk out what time the shuttle bus service from Petite France to Gapyeong station. As for me, from Petite France I took shuttle bus to the nearest train station. Bus fare cost KRW5000. But I don't remember the train station's name. I need to look at my note first.

Ok, this was my trip to Nami Island & Petite France. I took lesser interchange for subway. From Myeongdong I took Subway Line 4 interchange at Yongsan station from Subway 1 to Jungang Line. The train will interchange at Sangbong station. From Sangbong take Gyeongchun Line and stop at Gapyeong station. From Gapyeong I took taxi cost me KRW3000 to Nami Island jetty.

From Nami Island took shuttle bus to Petite France. From Petite France took shuttle bus to Cheongpyeong station to return to Seoul. Shuttle bus cost KRW5000 per way. You can collect the brochure on shuttle bus service from Gapyeong station or Nami Island jetty ticket counter. They have Tourist Information counter.

You can use T-Money card all the way from Subway Line 1 to Gapyeong.

Tek kee, if you notice, most of the brochures on Seoul map and subway line you get from KTO or MATTA Fair does not include Gheongchun Line. You must goggle the subway map to get the clear picture on how to move around Seoul and suburb. I studied the map thoroughly and found the lesser way to interchange train/station so that I don't have to climb so many staircase. Yes, subway in Seoul needs a lot of stamina because of the staircase. Lift are for pregnant women & disable. Don't ever try to use it or you get killer stare from the locals

No, can fit in 4 people only.

You have to take 2 taxi for 6 pax. I don't see any van taxi. If you think is too expensive, why don't u guys just take the shutte bus?? KRW5000 for the whole journey. Nami Island/Petite France/Garden of The Morning Calm and return to subway station Gaypyeong and Cheonpyeong. But u must follow the bus schedule. If u miss then susah lor!! Escpecially in Petite France.

Dunno about that. But the shuttle bus we took from Nami Island & Petite France charged KRW5000. We even took the shuttle bus brochure from the Tourist Information Center.

I didn't know got shuttle bus until we arrived Gapyeong station

If you want to squeze 5 people in 1 taxi as per Mkaz suggestion, go ahead. But the taxi I took, nicely fit the 4 of us. I dunno where the 5th people can fit in.

Very hard to say also. Weather can ber very unpredictable. I saw many cherry blossom when I was there (22/4-28/4). So beautiful.

Go to their website & register as member and you get superb discount. For 03 days 02 nites car rental I rent with them, Hyundai Matiz not even RM200.

That is why I prefer to travel alone if my hubby not coming with me. Girls is very ma fan ler! Even though I am a girl but I don't like to travel with girls. Very petty. When I travel alone, I can meet with other travellers and we can go together if we like the places and vice versa.

To forumers who asked me about Jeju do. I have to give some tips to you. If you guys decide to visit Jeju, I suggest you stay 2 nites because Jeju do is bigger than Singapore and Melaka. The places of interest are spread from West Coast to East Coast. They journey from West to East or vice versa already takes about more than 1 hour drive. You are going to be very exhausted if stay 1 nite only. The plane ride, the driving and all. Over exhausted during holiday is no fun.

I booked mine before I got my IDP.

International Driving Permit. Mine still valid until 21/4/13. I am going to use it for my trip to New Zealand in March 2013.

My Malaysia driving license. IDP is actually like a small booklet. Is not a license but permit.
