Ask me anything about Korea, especially Seoul.

Deciding between these hotels for 6 nights' stay for 2A2C: -
1) Stanford Hotel - smaller rooms, very near train station, has shared washer
2) ENA Suites Nandaemun - spacious, near train station, has shared washer
3) Orakai Insadong - v. spacious with washer/dryer, kitchenette, not so near train station.

Any reviews? Thanks.

Any suggestion for a 15days (2 weeks) trip to Korea? Where are the places worth going?

Google can help with the itinerary. yt is also good. Last option is to join a tour group.

Hello, going to Seoul for 9days with 5 adults and 4kids. Would like to engage a personal driver with at least an 9 seater MPV. Where can I start looking for it?

I used korealtrip.com for my last trip for airport transfer and those day trip out of Seoul…

They are quite responsive and communicate well using WhatsApp updating any changes and responding to my questions…

But do check out others service providers first to compare prices… I’m lazy to do comparison back then…

Just sharing with everyone

LNY in Korea is really unlike in Sg. In Myeongdong and Busan Haeundae, almost all shops and restaurants are opened and it's very crowded

JSA is suspended... but i think DMZ and tunnel tours are still ongoing... and is still worth visiting if u are interested in such visit...

The tunnel tour is not suitable for elderly with walking difficulties and young toddlers...

I prefer to be 2h early. I suppose 1.5h should be fine too.

I am planning my first family (3 pax) trip to Korea. As it is our first time in Korea, we are considering to take a group tour package instead of F&E.

What are the considerations to decide group tour vs F&E?

How many days? Seoul only or Seoul + Busan/Jeju?

Personally... I felt that Korea is quite easy to DIY/F&E... within Seoul itself... most attractions can be easily reached using their metro... if need to go outside Seoul attractions there are many klook/kkdays day tour packages to choose...

If want fuss free and no problem to tour pace rushing from attractions to attractions... then can go for tour group...

otherwise... if want to go relax pace... own time own target... flexibility to change itinerary... cater to your own comfortable budget... go for DIY...

Seoul + Busan... prob around 8 to 10days.

Noted that DIY is not that difficult.

Tks you, will take a look at Busan Pass.

For transport btw Seoul and Busan, I presumed KTX is a viable option for FnE. Any platform can offer more competitive pricing for KTX fee?
