Need some info. I'm going over next two weeks.
Would like to ask where should I obtain data connection when I'm at there. It will be used for GPS and normal surfing.

u can rent the pocket wifi or buy sim in the airport..they have a lot of booth from diff telcos..

but do take note for pocket wifi, pocket wifi has limited stock..u can secure one by booking it online.

Hi, has anyone tried Wiyo ? Does it work well? I'm spending 2 weeks there next month and will be going almost around the whole country.

Any other wifi rental services to recommend?

recently i just watched this youtuber where she did a vlog in jeonju..perhaps u can get to know jeonju slightly better =) its mixture between korean and canto though..but u can turn on the subtitle if you don understand.

Will be in Seoul and Jeju for 8d8n.. 2 person, but only 1 phone..
know about the Wiyo rm12/d.. but thinking not worthy just for 1 phone usage..
but i check KT.Co, 10days package is like whooping 140 ringgit..

Any cheaper alternative guys?

ah what was regretful? is there a difference between hostels and guesthouses? laugh.gif

guesthouses are like what we get mostly on airbnb? private rooms with private bathroom..its like smaller scale and cheaper version of hotel..while on the other side hostels are like few beds in a room that allow sharing?..thats how i differentiate lol..

but yeah, wondering whats so bad experience for the guestshouses

Me and my friends are planning to Korea end of March 2017, is 11 days 10 nights enough to visit Busan + Jeju + Seoul?

The plan is like this
Day1- 6am reach seoul take train to Bushan
Day2, 3 - Bushan
Day 4- Bushan take flight to Jeju
Day5, 6- Jeju
Day7- Jeju take flight to Seoul
Day8,9,10- Seoul
Day 11- Come back

Will it be very rush?
*
i don think its a good idea to squeeze 3 main places in less than 2 weeks..in fact, if this is ur first time in korea and u truly wanna explore that place, u should get them as separate trip..like a week for Seoul..Another week for Busan and Jeju.

Of coz u can do all these trips in 11 days but u gonna miss out a lot of places.

Hi y'all! My itinerary is currently the same but its like 5 days Seoul and 4 days jeju from 30/3 to 7/4.  Just a couple of questions.

1. Is it too early for cherry blossom if say we were to  be in seoul from 3/4 to 7/4? and 30/3 - 2/4 in Jeju? Havent bought my tickets yet and we are planning to arrange to travel wen its most likely to bloom.

2. I know it is subjective, but just on an average how much would you spend on a meal in Seoul & Jeju? A range or just average will do!

Thanks in advance for the help!
*
1. Actually early April should be fine already. Since March already slowly transiting from winter to spring..

2. Not sure Jeju. But Seoul one pax around 20-30 (maybe i eat a lot)..if u decided to eat some exp food, eg living octopus..can go up to rm100+ per plate..but of coz if u small eater, grab here grab there with around rm10 maybe is sufficient for u d.

RM2k should be sufficient excluding accommodation.

Hey peeps, quick question. Why are Eastarjet tickets from Gimpo to Jeju sold out like, in one day? I just checked a couple days ago there were no flights available i.e. there wasnt even any info on the flight schedules. And the next day they were all sold out?
*
what u mean there wasn't any flight schedule? flight schedule is fixed..are u checking the correct and same flight?

fyi, those korean airlines fly domestically for few times in a day..however not all have a daily flight..

eg, Eastarjet Flight A, B, C fly to Jeju..But only A and B has a daily flight..C is not available or full because it doesn't fly on that day.

im going with my gf, so initially i tot i can just get the data sim for my gf to use..

it cost about rm130 now for 10 days with the SK Telecom, though we will be there for 7 days smile.gif

yup..like what yvonnesoo said. u can rent from ktolleh or local one like wiyo..

last time i rented ktolleh, booked online and pick up at airport..

the last time i rented is 8800won/day..split with 4 friends, for one whole week each person around RM40-50..which is quite affordable la.

Hi guys. How is Korea's public transport? If I want to go to cities outside of Korea, can I just take a bus/train? And is Korea easy to navigate around? Map/GPS will do? I thought of planning a diy short trip there, but knowing that I'm quite a timid person, I'm scared I'll get lost and end up going nowhere.
*
where? jeju? busan? u can fly there..

if other district, u can take their train..save time compared to bus.

don worry, just do enough research and u will never get lost! as long as u have internet with you, nothing will go wrong tongue.gif

tips: u can download naver..if u happen to ask locals for direction, use Naver instead of google map..

How much should I change Ringgit to Won for 15 days of Korea trip for 2 person? Traveling to Seoul-Jeju-Busan-Seoul.

Excluding flight, car rental and accommodation. All shopping I will try to use credit card.
*
RM3k/pax..Give urself RM200/per day spending, with food, transport, and all the misc stuffs which might cost a lot (and they can't pay by card).

but make sure u do your heavy shopping by cards la..
