QUOTE(SSJBen @ Oct 8 2016, 05:39 PM) To me, solo in Jeju is very nice. You can just go where ever you want on the island and just chill like no tomorrow. It's peaceful if you ask me, especially when you go on non-peak season. Yeah went there before with friends and rented the car driving around. But if wanna go solo public transport may not really convenient that's why I have concern on tat. Really like jejuJeonju is very nice also. It's not very "touristy" yet, but getting more and more popular. |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 13 2016, 09:37 AM) that price can buy full service flight already For first timer to korea nope, if repeated trip yes. Seoul need 7 days, busan 4/3 days. Planning 1 week busan and Seoul for 1 week next year. This is my fifth time to korea. Going to jeonju BTW, i saw fly to seoul and fly out from busan even cheap but i know i have to count in KTX but hey ...i get to visit 2 places at once 1 week enough for both seoul and busan?  |

QUOTE(billsean @ Jun 20 2017, 10:22 PM) Hi, If me i would love to explore jeonju for its food. Travelled to gyeonju before and it was not my preference but if u like those history stuff maybe it suits uI've been to Seoul and Busan before. Now, I plan to explore other parts such as the Gyeongju and Jeolla-do. Anyone been there before? When should I go the best? And, is it better for me to stay at Busan, then make a day trip there or spend like 3-4 days at each district to explore it to the most? |

QUOTE(~mingwei~ @ Apr 25 2019, 09:49 AM) Thanks for the info, hmm..,still thinking whether to proceed with flight tickets now.. Toyoko inn Busan station 1. Next to Busan station. Just 2 Stations away from Nampo stop. Be a member of Toyoko inn entitle for discount 20 percent on public holiday and Sunday. They have a lot of franchise in Japan and few in Korea, Philippines, Cambodia etcAnother question, every hotel in Busan equipped with heater right during winter? Any good reasonable hotel to recommend? Prefer Nampo dong or seomyeon area. |

QUOTE(justins @ Oct 8 2022, 12:26 AM) Anybody happen to be in SK and know the Bigpay rates? As money changers almost all of them dont have stock for won. Use wise card. Can lock the current currency by transferring to bank account Korea and its like debit card function. I changed from RM to Japanese Yen with rate 29-31 last year. Exchanged 2 times with different rates |
