- Korean Bullet Train - KTX First Class, Seoul - Busan
The convenience of city center to city center high speed rail cannot be denied. And South Korea has then in spades. We get on board KTX on the busiest transportation line in the country and head south towards Busan. This service, as you can see - is faultless to the tee. Trains are on time with military precision and we zip across the country (literally) in a matter of hours very smoothly and quietly.
Come along with me to see what the experience is like.

Thanks for the new video Ryan. It's great to hear the gentleman was nice about it.
High speed rail in Australia, won't happen in our generation. They have been talking about it for at least 40 years now. Successive governments trying to make the Guinea Pig book of records for procrastination.
Hmmm, Train to Busan .... I guess Liza with Z has a different meaning in this context.
Step 1, step 2 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah, the economics of Australia's small population scattered amongst wide distances doesn't bode well.
Great video, this looks awesome! I really want to try a high speed train in that corner of the world!
Omg you should! XPT does not even register! Lol...
Wonderful & informational video! My husband & I are in Seoul right now & planning to take the 1st class KTX to Busan next week. I love how you included the story of the seat mistake. I can imagine it happening to me. 😂
It was so embarrassing! Thanks for watching though! Let me know how your train ride went, ok? Hehehe... 😆
18:43 the night before our 1st class trip to Busan, huge sigh of relief when we heard “You, NO! Me, YES!”
Laughing so much!
Good tip on the egg mayo sandwiches too!
Thanks for the video!
Off to Japan, then back to Perth.
Haha! Glad I could entertain! Enjoy the KTX, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Just before the tracks, there are actually stalls selling bento boxes. So if you'd like something more substantial than Paris Croissant, consider the latter instead! I would've done that if I knew. Enjoy your trip!
Great video Ryan! I was thinking how average the first class was until you finally got the push into the correct cabin. These remind me of the Chinese rail system in a way... fast and convenient, as you said, great way to avoid the airport ques and security time.
I can't wait to try the Chinese trains! Especially between Beijing and Shanghai.
I wish I’d been on the Live! Great video 👍
Thanks for popping by!
Love all your videos.
Thanks man!
👍 👌 👍
Australia needs to learn how to actually have a good high speed train network
I know right? Meanwhile, we can't even get the Melbourne airport train link up and working properly.
Australia def needs a fast traiN like that. A money spinner if they did it.
As much as I'd like to see one in Australia, ain't gonna happen.
This train is so quick that flying should never be a consideration. Oh Australia needs proper high speed trains especially between Melbourne and Brisbane
Lol don't even get me started about the rail situation in Australia. Its utterly embarrassing. So much spent on feasibility studies and nothing comes out of it. Every time I use my passport and travel, it's just a reminder of how far we're lagging behind in this big brown land of ours. My next video shows my transit experience in HKIA. There's none of that checking passport at the gates because your face has already been captured prior to entry into airside, and it's been linked to your boarding pass. So you board with facial scans. And HKIA is 25 years old. 🤷
OMG OMG OMG all I'm seeing is "Train to Busan". Best Zombie movie ever made. OK, don't hate me, but I think I love train videos more than planes these days. When I went on the shinkansen in Japan, I used to love their bento boxes at the train stations. Wish we had those here in Aus. OMG only you can sit in the wrong seat and wrong car and wrong cabin type! HAHA Actual real first class looks SO much better. I do love a good egg mayo sanga. No toasted cheese sandwich for you? ;-) hehe The snack packs are cute. The train is Korea is seriously so much smoother and quieter than the KTM trains in Malaysia. I'll be travelling on the Eurostar and Caledonian Sleeper in France and UK soon and I know for a fact that they are no way as smooth and your experience. Brilliant video, Ryan!
You know, I saw bento boxes at Seoul Station too, just before the tracks. But I read somewhere having a full meal like that on the train is discouraged, and even frowned upon. Otherwise I would've gotten myself one. When we pulled into Daejeon, I almost fell off my seat because I immediately recognised the station. In my mind, I was jumping up and down going "OMG TRAIN TO BUSAN TRAIN TO BUSAN!!!!!"... I have several train trips planned in Italy, I think with that it will just confirm how sad our Aussie trains are. Hahaha... Looking forward to YOUR train videos!
Hey Ryan 👋
Wow. Glad you found the right seat finally 👍
Looks like a great trip 😊 Wish we had these in South Australia. I think our government should do some exploration.
Bye for now 👋
High speed rail is a non starter in Australia. We can't even handle state infrastructure projects without arguing, over budget and late. Let alone an inter state rail line which will cost billions to construct.
16:25 Australia could learn a thing or two from this :P
Not just Korea, but most countries in Asia could teach Australia how to do infrastructure well. Our country is just embarrassing with our 3rd world airports, public transport and rail network.
stay healthy 🙃:O)
Your car you are in IS NOT 1st Class...you got on wrong one or bought wrong ticket
Obviously you did not finish the video?
Your my new mate now
That is not first class. First class has a 2-1 configuration on the KTX.
Did you watch further into the video? 😏
@@ryansofly No, why bother when the video is factually incorrect? And if he switched later, he needs to say so earlier in the video. Just common sense.
@@corner559 🤦🤦 sure... Suppose this is why I produce these videos and you don't. Just sayin'...
That’s £53 so it’s an excellent deal.
I can’t believe you boarded the wrong carriage. What did you misinterpret?
Lol who knows? I was fighting jetlag, new country, and very little sleep. 🤣
How much is the first class fare to Busan. And is there another train aside from ktx.
We're planning to go to busan in February 2024.
The fare is about USD95. There are other trains besides KTX, but this one is most frequent and popular.
@@ryansofly would recommend buying letsKorail pass or check our their official website before your trip, it is much cheaper :) We can book tickets from their official website and it's in english, i usually get their korail pass and book tickets in there and make sure to read up about their cars before booking my seats :)
That's obviously the economy class. 😂
Did you watch the entire video? 😏
Nice vlog. Ryan, I have a question...which is the better Oneworld lounge in Changi in term of hot food selection and seating comfort? British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and SATS Premier? You might be the better person to ask as you might have already checked out all these lounges in Changi.
Let's see...
QF best for food but can get crowded.
BA good seating but food not as good as QF.
CX, I've never been.
SATS , I avoid. Great seating, but when I found frozen dumplings were being served, nah.
@@ryansofly Thanks so much.
QF lounge in changi put qf lounge in australia like hotel food vs canteen food
@@linustw that's because QF Lounge in Singapore (and I think HK) is managed by Sofitel. The entire airline scene in AUSTRALIA is just embarrassing, and I can't believe people gush about the S&P squid at the First Class Lounge. Give me the Changi lounge catering anyday.
Amazing Korea
Iya dong! 😏
thanks thanks!
@@user-tobot you're very welcome! I had a great time in Korea and it was my first visit too!
Have a whole list of Korean vlogs... Make sure you check em out! Cheers!
What's the time going back to Seoul?
Trains depart every 5 to 10 minutes depending on time of day.
So you know how backward is Australia trains 😂
Don't remind me! 🤣
Hey mate what website did you use to book the KTX tickets? Appreciated
Rail ninja
I think it's called business class ?
Not sure if you saw the signs plastered all over which said FIRST? 🤷 🤣
Seoul is much like Hk where high numbers of population congregated in one city, rendered the rest of country rarely occupied.
Abt 50% of population (out of 50mil ppl) live in greater soul. This indirectly push up real estate prices and high pressure living condition.
ZOMBIES!!!!
My fave
uk better than us
This is ONLY korea.
Wait til you try china.
I was just talking about China to a friend yesterday. Think its time to plan a trip to motherland next year in 2024.
