Im going to Seoul end of this month and i've yet to book any accommodation in Seoul.
Are those guesthouses (around RM150 ish) recommended?

And how much pocket money for transportation (should be mostly train) and 3 meals in an inexpensive restaurant do you recommend? Is 30,000KRW a day enough?

I dont want airbnb as its very troublesome to stay at another person's house.
Tried it in Macau and though the host was good but i felt like imposing.

did airbnb in Seoul and Busan. Good experience. Nice, central location and owner didn't even need to show up. All comms via email and kakaotalk, and no keys needed either coz they are all using electronic locks.

Thanks. How much average did you need to spend a day there?

street food u can get at 3000-5000 too but its not filling lo.

I see thanks. Then maybe i should buffer about 40k won a day for food, transport or any entrance fees.
Im planning to bring around 300k spending money for my 7 days trip. Enough?

street food is more expensive lor. one stick maybe 3000-5000 liao and it's not full. for 6000 won u can get a proper meal at a cheaper restaurant (meat + rice + appetisers + plain water)

Bingsu on it's own can range from 3000-8000 depending on the place also

I see. At least got such food at that price.

300k won around RM1000 definitely not enough..i brought RM2k for 7 days its ngam ngam only..

u mention 40k for food,transport and entrance fee..but u forget to count the miscellaneous stuffs..

like lets say for a bit of shopping, or when u go convenience store, airport transfer etc.
*
Then maybe i'll bring around 450k.

Thanks for the advice.

3k for food, tickets, and some shopping for 10days. Is it enough?
*
I used RM2k just for food, transportation (almost 98% subway) and ZERO shopping for 7 days.
And I only ate in normal restaurants.

Okay la. Not bad.
I went to Jeju and realised that it was much better to have transportation/tour instead of relying on the local bus route.
