You must look at the terms & condition of the tour trip agreement she sign when make payment. If they put the clauses saying they have right to cancel the tour for any reason stated in the agreement, then she can't do much. Hopefully the agent refund the money.

That is why don't simply sign anything without reading thoroughly.

No need to go with agencylah. Go by yourself. More fun. You can do anything you want at your own pace without being herded like group of sheep.

I think you should switch Day 01 to Day 02 & Day 02 programme to Day 01. Nami Island need a whole day to cover. Don't think you have enough time to do it on Day 01.

Gangnam is filthy rich people area. Unless you want to lepak at Rodeo Street and Sinsadong area looking for celebrities, nothing much there. Rows of high end shopping mall, boutique,cafe.

Same but their socket is 2 pin not 3 pin like in Malaysia or Singapore. Just bring universal adapter.

Apply international driving permit & rent a car. Way more cheaper and you have access to anywhere and anytime. KRW120,000 you can get a good car for 03 days 02 nites with KUMHO Rent A Car.

One of the forumer here posted the information already. Go and search in this thread.

The best time to shop in Dondaemun not day time but nite time. The later the better bargain you get. Dongdaemun open until 5am. You come at 9pm and above for better bargain. If you come day time, nothing much to see and the price is higher.

April is Spring. Weather is pleasant. No need to wear tebal teballah. Weather something like genting highland only.

I have the same problem. I just go the airport and chk in manually. As long as you keep your confirmation reservation, you can chk in at their counter. Even if you have already holding e boarding pass without luggage, you still need to go to the counter for verification.

Nothing much mentioned in any brochures about Seoryani forest path. But I got to know this place from Secret Garden Drama & I emailed Jeju Tourism Organisation to get more info. If you like light hiking this is the place for you .The trees and surrounding so peaceful.

Ok, below is our itinerary when we were in Jeju. We stayed for 03 days 02 nites.

Day 01
Arrive Jeju 0905hrs and collect our rented car. Head to Jeju Stone Park, Jeju Mini Land, watch Fantastik Show. Visit Chocolate Museum & Jungmun Cliff. Chk in to the Jeju Hiking Inn.

Day 02
Visit Seopjikoji, Majanggul Caves, Art Trick Museum, Saryeoni Forest Path, Jeju Folk Village & Cheongjiyeon Waterfall. Along the way we drive via the coastal road and take a lot of pictures of the big wind tracker.

Day 03
Early morning hike and climb Seongsan Ilchubong to see sunrise. Return to the hostel, take shower and drop our rental car. Take the shuttle bus from car rental deport to Jeju International airport.

What you should do is to head to MATTA Fair and get Jeju map. I noticed KTO doesn't have details Jeju Map. I went to MATTA Fair 3 times last year to get the Jeju map and more info on Jeju. Then I start draw my itinenary.

Jeju Mini Land, Art Trick Museum and Seoryani forest path are on the same route. Seopjikoji & Seongsan Ilchubong also on the same direction. Jeju places of interest are divided into East & West. So you need to chk the map and draw your own itinerary base on how many days you have, what do you want to see.

You will need to stay longer if you want to climb Mt Hallasan. Many people underestimate Jeju Island. Thinking that, Jeju is only small island but it is not tha small and also so many places to go and see. I'll definitely return to Jeju and stay longer.

We wanted to visit Art Trick Museum on Day 01 after from Jeju Mini Land but because were rushing to watch Fantastik Show, we have to visit Trick Museum on the 2nd day.

Some of the places you want to go I am not sure which part of Jeju they are so I can't give comment on that but I can tell you for sure, on Day 01, I doubt you can arrive Halim Park at 1600hrs. As long as you can arrive before closing time, then it should be ok.

Where is Soingook Theme Park?? Is it Jeju Mini Land? But I think on Day 02 it should be ok. Best time for sunrise is before 5am. However the time is varied depending on the season. If I am not mistaken it gets sunrise early if summer?? My personal opinion, better go to Jeju Folk Village than Seongeup coz they use Jeju Folk Village for movie/drama filming. The place is so huge!!!!!!!!!!! U need at least 2 hours to walk around the complex.

Another note, Cheongjiyeon Waterfall open until 10pm. Even if you put the place on your last visit should be ok. You must go the places closed early.

To save time, why don't u just go and visit Halim Park first and then chk in?? I have never been to Halim Park so I can't comment.

It actually depend on what time the sun rise. We arrive at 430am and thought nobody was around to collect the entrance fee. Bu the moment we pass the booth, the guy tapped on the table ask us to pay the entrance fee

I think it gets pretty early sunrise during summer. Depending on the season, weather the sun will rise early or later. You can also go to watch sunset. I think they closed after sunset.

We woke up at 3 am and driving like crazy women

Get a 2nd driver ler!! My sis and me take turn to drive.

Added on September 5, 2012, 6:45 pmAbout 45 minutes drive but in our case, we reached there in 30 minutes because we were speeding like hell. The road was practically empty and it all ours

Climbing depending on your stamina. If you are an active person, you can do it within 30 minutes.

I also scared kena speed trap but when we returned the car, they chk everything and it was ok. Maybe because it was early morning.

Malaysia also same mah!! Not even thank you after receiving money at the cashier.

Sunrise is different from season to season. I heard its get early sunrise during. I went there during Spring. Sunrise was around 515am. I brought along my LED torch light because I am 4 mata person. I cannot see things clearly in the dark. Really worth it to see sunrise at the peak. You will not regret it. The place open as early as 4am. We arrive there around 420am and the ticket counter man already standby to collect money.

I only went to DMZ only because didn't have much time. In DMZ, they will bring you the tunnel (north korea digged to infilrate South Korea), Dora stn & 1 place (I forgot the name of the place) where you can use binocular to see North Korea side by inserting coins into the binocular. I think they will bring tourists to JSA (Joint Security Area) for Panmunjeom tour. Both have different attraction and feel. So take your pick.

Yes, you can online chk in.

Added on September 21, 2012, 7:50 pmDepending on season and how early you book your ticket. Similar to Air Asia system. I got it for RM270 return mid April 2012.

Added on September 21, 2012, 7:51 pm06 days 5 nites you can only go around Seoul and suburb like Nami Island, Suwon and nearby. Not enough time to go to Jeju. You need at least 2 nites in Jeju. 1 nite will be too rush and tiring.

This is the cost our my 03 days 02 nite Jeju trip

Return flight ticket: RM270
Accommodation in Jeju Hiking Inn (split to 3 person): KRW40,000/ RM112 (02 nites)
Entrance fees: KRW37,000 / RM104 (per person)
Car Rental (split to 3 person): KRW15,500 / RM43.40
Meals + tidbits: KRW25,000 / RM42
Fuel throughout our journey (split to 3 person): KRW21,000 / RM59

In my opinion, it is more cheaper to rent a car & drive yourself than hire a car with driver. Furthermore, if you hire car with driver, there's a limit time for usage and addtional hour will be imposed if you exceed the hour. Whereas, when we rent the car, we can go wherever we want and come back to hostel at anytime we want.

Domestic flight. We chked in 1 and half hour before. But at the end our flight delayed for 30 minutes.
