Hi Sifu,

I'm planning to take vietnam airline to Seoul and there's a layover of 20+ in Vietnam Ho Chi Minh airport.

Does anyone know whether I could leave the airport and check into a hotel near the airport?

On top of that, I'm planning to visit Jeju island for 5 days 4 nights.

Any recommendation on which part of Jeju to stay?
Planning to rent a car and the Jeju trip is 3rd week of December.
Is it snowing by then?

Thank you.

Thank you for the answer.

I'm trying to apply for K-ETA now for my trip in December. I read that K-ETA is valid for 2 years.

While trying to fill up the info, it's asking to key in the Surname and Given Name in the passport.

Since that Malaysia password do not have any Surname, should I click the "Unknown" button for Surname and key in my full name under "Given Name".

Advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I've emailed to the Korean Embassy and was informed that we should put our Full Name listed in the passport in the "Given Name" of the E-KTA application.

I've also submitted and was approved. Submitted on Sunday night and got the approval a few hours later. Super fast. I thought the approval would take 72 hours.

I think Digi is roaming partner in Korea is SK Telekom. SK Telekom is largest telco in Korea so I think it should be fine.

I'm planning to get a 4G wifi dongle from Klook since I will be travelling with a family of 4.

Are you travelling anytime soon? Mind to share your itinerary for reference?
Having a hard time planning since there're so many places to cover with so little time.

I just came back from SK.

CU Mart, GS25 and those that has the machine to scan Alipay QR code can use TNG. I used TNG mostly at convenient stores, and CC for restaurant and retail outlet.

TNG has slightly better rate than CC.
