Thia was super helpful! Thank you! So you suggest getting a wow pass over a T-money card then?

@PhatLifeProject 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! If you plan on using a revolut card or have plenty of cash on hand then t money is fine, if you want a local debit card and t money combined then wowpass is better

Thank you for such an informative video, so glad I came across it. Planning to travel with elderly parents (with walking stick), are there escalators/lifts at most train stations? What about at Seoul station itself?

@PhatLifeProject 2 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! Yes there will often be two or more elevators at each station - One between the street and ticketing levels and another between the ticketing and platform levels

Does the Kakao app accepting foreign credit cards mean that you can use the payment system with them instead of pay the driver now?

Hi..love the vid. Will be heading there this March 30. Curious about money exchangers, do you find them everywhere?

@PhatLifeProject 2 ай бұрын

It’s a great time to go! 🌸 there is definitely a money exchanger at the arrivals and you will find them around Seoul as well though it wouldn’t hurt to find out what rates your Bank is offering could be better to exchange this before your trip :) enjoy Seoul!!

Thanks for the tips. Been a while since I was in Seoul. I normally choose Bangkok over Seoul. Which flight searching site do you use to search for cheap flights? I think it's time for a Seoul visit lol

I’m a huge fan of loyalty points so I would say whatever airline you fly the most with!

Hello sir..i will be coming next month with my wife and two kids...i read some worrying posts about June being very hot and humid and full of musquitoes...also heard that floods are possible in June...did we choose the wrong time of the year to visit?

We r going to Seoul in June, do you have hotel recommendations? We want to stay near shopping , tourist attactions and street food market . Thanks

I actually mostly stay in Gangnam whenever I go because I want to stay a little bit away from the tourist attractions 😅 that said if you want to be close to all the attractions myeondong has some great hotels in the vicinity

Well about most attractive ppl, must be point out almost everyone gets plastic surgery in SK. SK has the highest per capita rate of plastic surgery in the world. it's a significant aspect of SK culture and beauty standards
