can anyone tell me around how much will it cost for a budget backpacking trip to korea for a week?

5k enuf?

OK since you're on budget similar to most of ppl here..My recent trip of 6D4N can be used as guideline. I EXCLUDE hotels & air ticket bcos already paid in advance. You can prebook hotels using the link on 1st page (innotel, hostelworld or agoda)

Wth the AAX tickets & hotel excluded, I changed ~RM2170 cash into Won (well to USD 1st thereafter won). Yesterday, I changed back the whole US$218 available and got back RM680 So total spending only ~RM1500 AND this was for 3 persons!! (Avg exchange rate at 2.85)

Rough idea of how I spent my RM1300 there (for 3 pax)"

- T-Money 33,000w X3 but got back 3600w X3 at the end of the day. (~RM260)
- Daily food for 3 X3 (Brunch & dinner - some meal simple convenience shop kimbap & drinks ) ~ 12,000w X2 X3 X 4 nites (~RM820)
- Souvenir, entrance tickets, Taxi & etc ~180,000won (RM520)

this is 1 people 1500 or 3 people 1500? 3 people 1500 seem unbelievable...even going to bangkok cost more.

ok, so rm1500 excluding hotel and flight?

how much flight cost you last time?

how much was the accomodation per night? what hotel/backpacker lounge was it?

ok, im really confused now bro. like, really really confused.

so its rm1060 per person include flight and include expenses?? so i will be expecting about the same budget + the difference in flight tickets of course.

so for you last time, it was rm600 for hotel rm300 for flight rm100 for other expenses? doesnt sound right.
