Hello guys

May I know whether can 4 people I'm a group share 1 T-money card? For the buses and subways travelling.

And regarding the phone rental, I just need to pay for the first phone and the second one is free of charge?

How much is that in RM ?

Haha.. If u stil can get the RM99 return ticket haha...Well impossible now..If I still can recall, I only spent ~RM4K + for 3 person! i.e less than RM1.5K per pax inc flight & everything

I pay rm1k for ticket rm600 for hotel bring rm2.5k and creditcard usage about rm500 for 10 days busan n seoul. Actually i can save more if i dont drink a lots coffee.. i rarely use mrt... i usually walking from 1 destination to another. 1 days i walked from eujiro to gyeongbukgong to bukchon village to hyewah to insadong and back to myeongdong.. walk from morning to night... i stay im eujiro 3 ga

eat is expensive as same price as korea restoran in malaysia. Cosmetic cheap, accommodation also can be cheap.

just back from there

Gwangan beach is a must go place in busan... especially at night. I damn like that place

i would like to go but my travel date is not end of the month

can't. t-money is transportation card. 1 person 1 card. what kind of phone rental and from which company? i suggest you rent an egg wifi instead

food wise i personally think is cheaper than msia as their portion is bigger. with foc water if you don't order special drinks la.. hahaha.. is their lifestyle that is costly.. once dine in coffee or cafe's and order with desserts.. can cost you a price of a decent meal.. but u can't resist cause their cafe's n coffee shops is so tempting

I agreed with you.. totally cant resist those coffee shop and food

Wow. Tips please! I'm going end of next month for 8D7N, hoping to cover the trip with RM2K (maximum RM2.5K) excluding flight tickets (RM500 for KL-Busan + Busan-KL and RM250 for Busan-Jeju + Jeju_Seoul). Accommodation booked for RM400 (for the entire trip), so that leaves me with RM1.6K. Is my budget possible?

Think it is possible la... if u dont eat a lots abd dont drink coffee a lots.. cos there cheapest meal (noodle) cost about 4000 won.. snack like fish cake 500won, sausage 2000won..let calculate as rm3 = 1000 won for easy calculation. A meal is about rm15.00

I am quite a foodie so I do hope I can control myself!

On another note, I have just booked the KTX tickets online for Seoul-Busan. However, I found out that the KR Pass is more economical and offers rides on the KTX as well. May I ask if I could book seats on the KR Pass or would it be of first-come-first-serve basis?

Need some helps here guys regarding flight ticket

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3365134

First come first serve basis. But u dun hv to worries on seat. Cos their ktc seoul - busan just like mrt every 15 minutes got 1 train. N they very on time.. departure sharp on time... so u better go down to the tracks n search ur car no n seat no. If u book kr pass.. usually they will give the next 30 minutes train for u. Kr pass u can choose ur seat when u in counter.

if u are in group. purchase the saver. cheaper

Thank you for your suggestions. I will be travelling in a group of 4, but we will be taking the KTX only one way from Seoul-Busan so the KR Pass is not that economical after all. I would like to ask about the cancellation and refund process of the tickets for KTX (not the KR or Happy passes). Anyone of you experienced the process before? From what I read on the website there will be a fee incurred even when you go to the counter to get your refund 2 days before departure.

KR pass not only on KTX. u can travel on KTX-Sancheon, ITX-Saemaeul, Saemaeul, Mugunghwa and Nuriro trains as well if u plan to go other area.

i'm not sure whether got any changes or not now. once u book, they will not charge your credit card. they only started to charge your credit card the amount once you redeem the ticket at their counter. unless u redeem your ticket already then you need to go to the counter for refund. if someone didn't redeem their ticket, it will be automatically cancel. fyi, i bought ITX last year and my korean friend explain it to me on the procedure

3 options. you can walk up (many koreans do that) or take the cable car or by bus. if by bus, the walking distance to the tower is near as it stop right below n seoul tower

woo. nice arrangement there for budget travelling.
recently AA have return ticket all in @ RM499 only. which is a very attractive price to travel. sadly already book my Korean Airline flight a month ago

my fren bought return ticket all in (luggage, meal, etc) RM500++

Is it recommended to take arex commuter train fr incheon to seoul station? Staying in insadong. Only take trolley bag 22 inch
