I spend 3 days in busan. I landing on incheon then strait to busan by ktx. Ktx u must book on internet(refer back to page 28 or 29 if i not mistaken, other forummer share the link)

Once i arrive seoul station i take my 3 days pass with the printed ticket that i booked at information counter.They will check ur passport and giv u 1 card.then u need go to ticket counter and get ur ktx ticket.  Ktx to busan quite convenient. It like every 15 to 30 minutes got train to busan - seoul. It take 3 hours ride, go toilet before u get into train. Inside no toilet if i not mistaken. Free wifi inside the ltx too but u need to install their apps. Just install lo.. no harm.. inside train better check ur car and seat no. Dont ever changed seat if u c other unoccupied seat cos other terminal will hv other passengers come in n looking their no accordingly.

the 3 days pass u bought means u can take the KTX unlimited from busan <---> seoul within 3 days right?
i've booked hotel around haeundae, feel regret seem like nothing around there but just only beach and the APEC house... sad.gif

u buy day pass or T-money for ur transportation?

hi, just wanna ask about the KR pass. During the reservation, there is a column "Expected date of arrival in Korea". Should I put the date of arrival in Korea or the date to use KR pass? I will arrive in Busan but use KR pass after few days there.
