Ho sifu, which prepaid line should i get in korea for calls, data and IDD? i will be there for 2 weeks. Thanks. Urgent

Hi, I found RM2300/pax for MAS flight ticket in end of December. It's cheap? Should I buy or wait for promotion?

Try EG Sim
http://www.egsimcard.co.kr/
quite suitable for you

That's consider quite normal rate. The cheapest I saw be4 in AA is around 500-600 for roundtrip, but even if you only wanna choose mars, the price is not really cheap either.. Last time my friends bought single trip ticket around 1.2k-1.4k

Going for 14 days this end of Oct. My rough itinerary so far, solo+free&easy so it will be very flexible. Have yet to confirm any accommodation so that will affect the itinerary as well.

Still wondering if I should slot in Seoraksan in the middle of my Seoul part of the trip, then get KTX to Busan. Or to follow this schedule and get on an overnight bus.

If you are not a shopper- day 3 is quite free, but if yes then the schedule is ok.
Day 5-nami island i personally feel nothing much, you can still go if you want, but purposely go there and come back make me feel not worth, but not sure how autumn looks .
better arrange few more days for banpo, cuz nt everytime you can see, depend on weather, wind direction and etc.
I tried 3 days and yet cnt see

1 day dongdaemun? you must shop a lot XD
why 1 whole day for sokcho? seoul to sokcho tooks 2hours+ only..you can go there on morning, reach there late afternoon, and still got time to go to the observatory, baech, aba village and etc, and next day go seoraksan.

You got quite flexible time, best if you can try go jeju,haha

Im flying to Incheon 18 Oct

But now still not very sure about the itinerary.. Just fix Jeju 3 days 2 nights..

First day Incheon -> Seoul
Second day Seoul -> Jeju -> Seogwipo
Third day Jeju
Fourth day Jeju -> Seoul

We plan for one day for shopping around.. Half day for one palace, half day for namiseom island.. Seoul Tower in the evening..


Will take some body lotion and face moisturizer..
Btw, buy in korea or bring it over??

No I'm not a shopper (no budget anyway *cough*). Mainly food seeker. 1 day dongdaemun is cause I'm not sure what else to put there, maybe just chill around the area and revisit some places that I really liked or missed before? I'm actually hoping for some recommendations from anyone that I meet when I get there haha.

1 day Sokcho also just a rough plan for now, since there's commute involved try not to cram too much stuff to stress myself out. But your suggestion sounds good, will move it around.

Jeju's not really budget friendly for solo travel, hopefully I can go there someday with a small group.

Will consider to add more stuff to Seoul itinerary, or cut it short by a day hmmm

Well, if you're not a shopper, myeongdong, dongdaemun, nandaemun gt nth much actually..anyway seoul is all about shopping .lol..
maybe you can go gangnam area walk walk as well
Try talk with the guesthouse owner then,haha,u staying where?

Sokcho wise if you hvn book accom, try The house, quite nice and good rate,free bicycle rental somemore.

why not budget friendly for solo travel? Though I went with another 2 persons, but we stay at dorm, take public bus, maybe food there a little bit troublesome though..

but busan wise i think quite similar with seoul also, except the beach, the temple, the color village..
nearby wise ulsan is an industrial town, only go if you interested. Gyeongju is a historical city, but for me nth much as well.

You prefer city (shopping, food) or prefer outskirt (mountain, sea)?

Lol I understand, but I'm quite a chill person so I can just walk/sit around, get some food and watch people.

Not sure where to stay yet, cause I'm waiting a few more weeks to try my luck at couchsurfing. Will be a combo of guesthouse and cs-ing. (most people dont accept requests too early)

The House looks nice! Might get it for my one night in Sokcho, thanks for the recommendation.

I love both city and nature, but as you said Seoul and Busan is enough for city already. So I'm still researching on more outskirts area. Historical places can be nice, but sometimes can look the same after a few, so wont be checking out every single one of them la.

I feel like Jeju is best if you can rent a car with a few people and go out explore on your own.

Added in my Busan itinerary. For Busan I'm aiming HiKorea for accomodation.

I see. You can try save few days in jimjibang. If you're not having big luggage then that could be great experiences..and the price is cheaper than guesthouse

The house is quite good, actually perhaps the only choice for backpacker.the facilities, owner, everything is nice. I made friends with some korean girls there as well

indeed, better if you got car. what i did is that I do backpack and stay at diff part of jeju everyday so that I can save transportation time. Rent car wise, any1 of you have international license? If not quite troublesome as well. Anyway that's up to you.hehe

Both busan and seoul got many guesthouse to choose, so not a problem..taejongdae is a must go in Busan. Other than that, haeundae beach and apex might be not bad if u r free..

Getting worry when travel period come....

havent prepare

Busan there still flooding now?

oh shit ~~~~ i going there on 20th sept

I think certain area..like seomyeon..haeundae there still ok

Yea I'm going to try out jimjilbang too! But not sure how well I can sleep, maybe if I'm tired enough haha.

Korean girls

I think I've decided to add Jeonju to my list. Seems like a nice place to visit.


Been hearing you say this for a while already lol But there's still time.

er...try to slot jimjibang between guesthouse lo..like that should be ok.

this 1..depend on u la..hehe...

jeonju..hanok village lo...the bimbibap soso only.haha

Day 2 & Day 4 you go the same place again? Bukchon Hanok Village?
for Banpo Bridge, before you go, it's better to check their schedule else you might end up disappointed
i feel you spend so much time on Day 6 & Day 7 on the specific area while Day 9 cram all area into 1 day

from your itinerary u seems only go 4 days?

depends on yourself whether you wanna bring it over or buy from there cause some people only use certain brands

Actually 9 days 8 nights..
My mum is going, that is why itinerary dun wan to be too pack and too adventurous..

Itinerary plan is actually up to my bro to decide..

We actually didnt know what activities/attractions can do and visit for 9 days/8nights..

Basically just between Seoul and Jeju only..
