The KR Pass you mean? You can easily check the fare differences in the Korail website. The 1-day KR pass (saver: for 2-5 people) cost KRW60300 while a one way ticket ranged from ~KRW53k-57k (depending on the day you travel). So to answer your question, it is slightly cheaper if you purchase the one way ticket. The KR pass is only worth it if you are buying a return ticket.

guys, is the gold ring in korea is cheaper than malaysia?

Going to Korea next Monday. Backpack style.
Any apps recommended for me to download? Such as map, language etc ...

Thanks!!

What apps recommended to download ?

Need help in answering a question regarding Korail

I'd made a reservation and provided the credit card details for a train ticket from Busan to Seoul. I called Maybank the same day and they received the order from Korail for the ticket charge. With this, i assumed that i no longer have to make any additional payments as i exchange for the ticket at the train station there.

But it has been 3 working days and Korail has not accepted the payment from Maybank yet and it's still on floating status. Maybank told me that Korail have only 3 more days to accept the payment or it will be cancelled. Did anyone have any experience in booking train tickets from Korail online website? Did you also have to wait this long? For now, i have no idea what will happen when Maybank cancels the transaction after the floating time period and if Korail still recognises the booking without payment.. =(

Last year i bought KTX ticket online.. IIANM, you will be given booking receipt if buy online.. When you go to station and exchange the booking for ticket, then they will charged your credit card on that day..

Might need confirmation from people going there in this few months back

I went there last month but I bought the KR pass instead of KTX tickets. not sure if the payment process is the same. I provided my credit card details and then I received an e-ticket from Korail. The amount will only be charged to my CC when I exchange my e-ticket for the KR pass in any major subway station. Why not try calling Korail and ask about the status of your booking? I did call them and enquire about some stuff. If you're using Maxis, calling to S.Korea is pretty cheap. It's only rm0.08/30 secs. You can refer to the link below:

Maxis

North Korea and South exchanged fire in the sea just now..

For Seou & Busan Subway Map app: Try Subway app from Broong Inc or Explore Seoul Subway map from ExploreMetro

For the subway app, i played around with MetroHD.. it has maps from both Seoul and Busan.. seemed very reliable to me.. you can use it for offline mode too.. =D

Thanks guys for the reply on my enquiry on Korail too.. =)

regarding the VAT tax refund, i will depart at seoul & return m'sia from busan, so if my purchase made at seoul can i claim it back at busan gimhae airport?

I'm little confused,
what's the difference between KOREA PASS vs T-Money?

Hi guys, will be going korea for 2 weeks in may. would like to know about the EGG wifi. is it wise to make the reservation online at KT or better to reach korea and rent at the airport?

Hi guys, just came back from Seoul a few days ago.

Just a question, is there anywhere here where I can find those Korean cute socks? Bought some from there, and relatives liked it. Thinking of searching for more here in Msia. Searching for a specific striped design, seems like those in lelong and other online stores don't have.

Or maybe anyone going there can help me get?

Hi there, I would like to ask if Credit card is accepted in Jeju's petrol station.
And what is the average gas used for 3 days? i read somewhere it's approximate 70k won to top up to full tank.

Thanks!

There is one shop that I know at IKANO but its quite expensive. You can try buying online at Qoo10.

Selling KOREA prepaid 3G sim.
Data left 800mb+, can be use to make local call and sms as well.
Can top-up to increase the data and extend the expiry date (currently expiry date is 25/04/14)

FREE : KOREA PASS (Transportation card with no❌ store value). Card can be use on bus/mrt/airport limousine bus.

Asking for RM40.
Original price for the prepaid 3G sim alone is RM80 with 1GB data.

PM if interested.

Where did you buy the EG sim card? I checked their online website and it bundles KRW20,000 together with the sim. If it can be bought elsewhere with lower prepaid value, then it would be an attractive alternative to KT Wifi egg for travellers. Can you also share a bit on user experience i.e. browsing speed? Thanks!

Hi guys,

Booked my car through KT Kumho about 3 months ago.

Now I check again, I realised I did not tick for Navigation & Egg Unit and I unable to click on it. Anyone know if I can ask for it when I collect the car?
