Hi all sifus/experts, is it a good time to visit Korea (Seoul + Jeju Island) around middle of September? Around 12th Sep, for 8 days.

I searched online for the temperature forecast, it will be around 26 to 27 degree C. Wouldn't it be still hot? Coz I thought that time should be Autumn dy, so didn't expect the temperature to be still that high (thought should be around 21 ~ 22 degree C only).

Is it OK/comfortable to walk around Seoul City and Jeju Island with this temperature?
Or should I go during end of September where the temperature would be lower?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Yvonne! Middle of Oct might not be able to make it, early Oct should be OK right? As long as it's slightly cooling like Genting Highland indoor, and won't sweat while walking around the street.

Seemed Sep is really not a good choice.

Hi eric, thanks for your info, for sure gonna get a lot of beauty products from there lol.

Btw is your airbnb accommodation nice? Roughly how much per night? I'm thinking of going for airbnb too. Wanna experience living in a Korean house a bit. Were you staying at the same place throughout the 6 nights?

Hahaha since Eric mentioned that beauty products are cheap, why not shop more? 
Plan to shop a bit for some clothes and souvenirs too, but not too excessive coz worry later luggage becomes too heavy 

For meals, plan to mainly just go for street food and some korean bbq. Also the fried chicken too since it is like soooooo popular.

Thanks for the airbnb tip, if that's the case then I think maybe I just stick with some decent hotels 

Do you think 8 days 7 nights for Seoul + Jeju is good enough? Will it be too rush? Shall I add one or two more days? We are mostly the relaxing type of travelers, won't squeeze in too much places to visit in one day, coz as others in this thread say, holiday is meant for relaxing not rushing 

Hahaha street food really that expensive in Korea huh? Then I will mix street food with some nice restaurant treats.

Thanks for the suggestion, then I think I will add two more days to my original plan, go for 10D9N instead of 8D7N. Didn't expect Jeju Island is so big 

Just got Air Asia flight tickets to Korea in October, will be spending 11 days there.

Would like to ask about whether this plan is OK:

Day 1 reach Seoul around 3pm. Stay for one night.

Day 2 morning straight fly to Jeju from Gimpo, stay for 3 nights.

Day 5 morning fly back to Seoul. Day 5 to Day 11 spend in Seoul.

Because I worry if stay in Seoul first, when need to go to Jeju, need to carry heavy luggage (extra items from shopping trip in Seoul). While in Jeju I think won't shop much kot.

Is the above plan reasonable?

Haha yup good suggestion, I think the first day when I reach Seoul I will just go straight to Jeju. Plan to spend 4 days in Jeju before flying back to Seoul.
6 ~ 7 days in Seoul I think still OK, actually I was thinking of spending few days in Busan too, but too bad already bought the flight ticket back, which is from Incheon to KLIA.

First time visiting Korea, didn't know Busan also have flights back to M'sia.

And the train fee from Seoul to Busan is so expensive 

If I visit Korea again next time, I think I will focus on Busan area.

Noted and thanks for the suggestion, still thinking of whether to put Jeju Island at the beginning of the trip or in the middle of the trip...

Will go to KTO msia next time when I am in KL. Thanks for this tip too!

Train fee from Seoul to Busan actually is reasonable because the distance is almost one end to another end. But travel to and fro would cost too much for my wife and myself 
Yup plan to spend one whole day in Everland. 5d4n in Jeju so long  Might consider this as well if the number of activities in Jeju really can fill in the whole 5 days. But for relaxing purpose and honeymoon, I guess spending more time in Jeju might be more suitable right? Only worry we will be bored if running out of activities to do and places to visit in Jeju.

Both my wife & me are not really fanatical nature lovers, I would say average regarding nature's activities. Thus I guess we should focus more on Seoul City since she really loves historical buildings and palaces.

Most likely will stick with 4d Jeju and 7d Seoul.

Yup going to visit all the places that you mentioned, also gonna look for a lot of different food to try. Both of us are food lovers 

By the way would like to ask, normally for people who go to Jeju, need to buy ticket in advance or can just buy on the spot? I just checked the ticket price, about RM220 per person only for return tickets. Should I buy it now? Or can wait until two months before departure (in case of any plan changes).

OK noted, will buy the tickets beforehand.

Currently in progress of surveying for hotels. Any comments on these hotels?

Jeju - plan to stay in Seogwipo/South side as recommended for first timers.

This one looks quite good value for money.

While for Seoul stay, plan to stay in Jongno coz most of the attractions are nearby here. Is Center Mark hotel OK?

Link..
Haha yup a bit worried about not enough rest on the plane. Hopefully manage to rest well, otherwise first day in Jeju straightaway wasted 

Thanks for the info regarding Korean Air, gonna survey this airline too if the price is not too expensive compare to Jetstar, worth if it allows free cancellation 

For sure will get the flights beforehand as advised by you & Yvonne. Thanks.

Haha just checked cheapest flights from Gimpo to Jeju, those budget tickets 3-Oct until 6-Oct all sold out! Need to postpone Jeju trip to 7-Oct or 8-Oct dy in order to get cheap tickets 

Yup I will drive in Jeju. Any car rental companies are OK right?

OK then will choose to stay in Myeongdong. That one not that worry coz a lot of nice hotels around there.

Already settled everything for jeju trip. Flight tickets RM1050 for two ppl :swt: almost half the price of air asia x tickets.

Car rental about RM480 for four days.

Seemed like no budget for hotel stay in seoul dy. Need to go for apartments dy lol. Any nice service apartments near myeongdong to intro?
RM400 for per person one-way right? Yup not much difference from t-way jeju flight (i booked mine for RM500 per person for return tickets). Wondering why the tickets to jeju are so expensive, while from jeju to gimpo are so cheap.

Hi, may I know the ssamziegil mall in insadong vs dongdaemun, which one is cheaper for me to buy souvenir as in clothing (male)?

Just a normal t shirt that tourist can buy. So if i couldnt buy from neither of this place, then which market can you suggest? (Not those expensive type of market ya)

If insadong, they also have underground store?

So you are saying the street store got sell those utems that i want? Around how much per piece? Is bargaining ok with the culture?

For food wise... singapore more expensive than seoul or seoul is more expensive? Lets say a meal in the CBD

Meaning.. in seoul is more expensive in terms of food right?

Wow the price over there after conversion haha (ok i will stop converting)
Hahaha ok. Is petite france near nami island? Is it worth to visit during winter season? (Petite france)

Any local Malaysian community forums or facebook groups in Seoul?

Is credit card widely acceptable in Seoul? Otherwise need to exchange more cash..
