@@wdrath4 it was great! Kept getting lost in the beginning with the bus system because 2 bus stops have the same name but on opposite sides of the street and go in opposite directions. So that was a bit confusing at first 🤣
Wow! Thank you soo much for this very informative vlog. I will be going to Seoul & Busan nxt week and your vlog is very useful for me. Will check your other vlogs.
I just visited Seoul for the first time, and I can tell everyone that it's wonderful plus easy to navigate. The food is great, the people are friendly and welcoming. Installing the apps he is talking about is very clever. The busses are super functional. Don't forget the amazing restaurants in normal area's. Seoul has so many nice spots : ) Also quite area's Great advise : )
Thank you for this video, it has been very informative!! A question though, I am torn between Namane and Wowpass. I am getting mixed feedbacks for both…
my grandparents will take a cruise to see different asian countries departing from Seoul. How does one get to the Cruise terminal from the airport or from Myeongdong area? How far is it , and roughly how much it will cost, does anyone know? please help. thanks so much.
The most important thing I need is wifi if I'm out in a foreign country. I remember renting a wifi box in Japan and carried it with me where ever I went. Wonder if such a thing exists in South Korea.
You can now get Hwahae in english via their desktop version so can be viewed in english - I talk about it here - ua-cam.com/video/X-xNLSQrMCs/v-deo.htmlsi=BFVtEGrcBDEg7OqX
Is it possible to use cash for loading money on the wow pass? And the wow pass can pass in everywhere (like CU, olive young, and shopping) in Korean, not just on the subway or bus?
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?
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
Where can I buy the Wow pass card, or add money? Can I buy it before getting to the city, and use it to take the express train to Seoul ? Can I use it to take a Uber or taxi ? Thanks for the video, it is so helpful.
You are quite welcome! im always happy to head people find value with the vidoes I have covered your concerns here in detail over on my WOWpass video - ua-cam.com/video/9J0BPyAGZOY/v-deo.htmlsi=X2FHjoU8VPhTx7O3 let me know though if you still have questions after =)
My son and I are planning to go to Seoul, but as a foreigner, I'm sure that food won't agree with us for couple of days, what do you recommend to take ease the stomach pain.
This is basically the T Money card with additional cash card capabilities, I have another video comparing the T Money Card and WOW Pass if you want to watch that as well
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
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
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!!
Sir, we are from India if we are reaching at Incheon airport at 22:30 then where shud we stay. Shud we book a hotel stay in Incheon or seoul. Further we want to go to Busan by train. Wat suggestion u wud like to give
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
Hey thank you so much! I have but it was some time ago before I had this channel 😅 you have just inspired me to go again That said you can choose to get your ticket here - bit.ly/KTXSeoulBusanPHAT You can choose to use code PHATLIFEPROJECTKLOOK for an additional 10% OFF if you wish
plenty of options depending on your budget - i personally picked gangnam so it wasnt as busy or crowded like Myeondong for example but if you like to be close to a lot of the attraction spots Myeondong could be good
@ nextplaneticket too bad? a 2/3 of the actual surgeries are performed to the foreigners, the majority of them are from the China. the prices are reasonable and the results are satisfactory! What to not like it? no wondered the majority of the languages are spoken in Chinese in the Dr’s waiting rooms.
i have a samsumg ultra 24 phone from united states. will the phone need to be unlocked, bec i just bought it and still making monthly payments on it. thanks
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?
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
Hello, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

Really an informative video. Got to know that Kakao app is accepting foreign credit card payment. Also the Wow card information is a good one.
Thank you so much for watching and I’m so glad you found the information helpful! Enjoy Seoul !
Does the Kakao app accepting foreign credit cards mean that you can use the payment system with them instead of pay the driver now?

I loaded Hwahae and papago. It’s good and seems to be useful in terms of information but not sure if the discounts will also work in Olive Young

And the wow pass can pass in everywhere (like CU, olive young, and shopping) in Korean, not just on the subway or bus?
Yes and yes 😁😁

Hi! On airalo, I was wondering if the unlimited data option includes talk and text or is this just for internet? Thank you!
Data - you can always talk and text on apps like WhatsApp
Great thank you!!
how the roaming package ?
bcoz my handphone couldn't use esim
and i don't want to change my simcard
thank you for the comment! your comment will be featured in a video going up this Saturday =)
Hi, I will be arriving Incheong Airport Terminal 1 end of this month. How do I take a bus to Namsam Forest Guesthouse which is located at Myeongdong
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!
Use Skyscanner or Google flights
Thia was super helpful! Thank you! So you suggest getting a wow pass over a T-money card then?
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
Hi..love the vid. Will be heading there this March 30. Curious about money exchangers, do you find them everywhere?
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!!
@@PhatLifeProject i dont usually prefer exchanging money at the airport. 🫤
@@azzurrox fair - best check with your local bank before your trip then =)
Do you recommend getting the eSIM prior to leaving for your trip?
Most definitely :) by the way if you’re looking for more eSIM options I’m doing a video that will go up this weekend 😀
@@PhatLifeProject perfect! I leave for Korea next Thursday!

yes T Money means Transit Money meaning you can use it on Subways, just tap and go
I am traveling with 6 family members the youngest is 9yrs old. Do we need to purchase the T-money card for everyone?
Do you know if Korea have limousine bus like Japan?
@@viviannguyen3717 yes please purchase for everyone, kids gets 50% off regular prices

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
