Rujukan bajet buat anda yang nak ke Korea

Done my Seoul trip last week. Actually Seoul was’nt part of my wish list. But you know what, its not bad at all. I purposely left few places so that I had a reason for revisit. To those who asking, here are my cost breakdown & itinerary for your reference.

Flight ticket (AirAsia) : RM850 (book on August 2018)
Baggage (return) : RM120 (25KG – sharing 2 person, RM60 per person)
Airbnb (Apartment at Suyu) : RM440 (6D5N – sharing 2 person, RM220 per person)
Subway: RM130
Food: Less than RM200 as I bring some food from KL
Insurance: RM38
N Seoul Tower: RM21 booked from Klook app
DMZ tour: RM180 booked from Klook app (optional)

Total cost: RM1699 per person

Anda dinasihatkan untuk menempah dan membeli tiket penerbangan (pergi dan balik) lebih awal untuk mendapatkan harga yang lebih murah. Begitu juga tempahan penginapan hanya perlu ditempah menerusi Airbnb saja.

Jom…

Day 1
Myeongdong

Day 2
Gyeongbokgung Palace | Seocheon Hanok Village | Bukcheon Hanok Village | Churro 101 | Gwanghwamun Square | Cheonggyecheon Stream | KTO | Gwangjang Market | Dongdaemun Design Plaza | Nandaemun

Ini merupakan senarai destinasi di Seoul buat rujukan anda. Bila tiba di Seoul, sangat rugi jika anda tidak berpeluang melawat Seocheon Hanok Village. Sebabnya, di sini anda boleh melihat sendiri seni bina rumah tradisional masyarakat Korea yang masih dipertahankan hingga hari ini.

Rugi kalau tak ke sini

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ tour) | Seoul City Hall | Itaewon | Tartine Pie | N Seoul Tower (Namsan Tower) | Myeongdong

Day 4
Gangnam Square | Olympic Park | COEX Mall | Gyeongridan Street | Jongmyo | Insadong

Di bandar Seoul ini terdapat banyak destinasi yang menjadi mercu tanda dan kebanggaan rakyat Korea termasuk Namsan Tower. Jika anda ingin naik ke menara ini, anda perlu membuat tempahan terlebih dahulu menerusi aplikasi Klook. Murah saja, harga untuk naik ke atas baru saja RM21.

Masjid popular di Korea

Tips ringkas buat anda

1. Prayer room in Seoul can be found at Incheon Airport Terminal 1 (Departure Hall, Gate 24), KTO office, COEX Mall, Lotte World, Itaewon.
2. For Airport transfer, using AREX all stop train to Seoul City Station & transfer to Suyu Station for KRW4250 (cheapest way).
3. To Namsan Tower, you can choose to take bus from Myeongdong Station (Exit 3, Bus no 2), Chungmuro Station (Exit 2, Bus no 2 or 5) for KRW2100 return instead of cable car which will cost you around KRW9000 return.
4. You will save more money if using T-Money card which can be used for subway, bus and even purchase goods at convenience store.

5. For internet using Digi Roaming 2GB (3 days) for RM25 or you can book portable wifi from Klook which will cost you around RM60 for 6 days.
6. There is trick on how you can get extra discount for using Airbnb which I’m not going to reveal it here.
7. Got T-Money card, travel maps & discount coupon book for free. PMed for details.
8. Foods are rather expensive. Street food will cost you average KRW 3-5000, drink KRW 1200, complete set meal KRW 8-15000. So plan your meal wisely.
