BUDGET TRIP KE SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

Assalamualaikum.

Wahh, ni post ke tiga aku pasal Korea. Tak sangka gigih jugak aku menaip 😆 .

Post kali ni nak cerita tentang actual budget. Ni merupakan post penting bagi aku sebab boleh buat rujukan kalau nak pergi Korea lagi.

Refer below untuk senarai budget ;-

**NOTE : SEMUA COST DIBAWAH AKU ADA SEPARATE UNTUK DIRI SENDIRI DAN IZZ. EXCHANGE RATE ₩ 1,000 → RM 3.79. AKU AMBIL RATE PALING TINGGI SEMASA TUKAR**


1. FLIGHT TICKET (RETURN)

Air Asia pilihan pertama, dah namanya penerbangan tambang murah kan. Budget pun aku set RM 1,000 sorang tapi ada over sikit. Hehehe. Make sure book at least 6 bulan awal. Time aku book 1 tahun awal. Awal gilaa kan 😆 .

MYSELF
Flight Ticket AirAsia : RM 837.70 / return
Seats : RM 88 / return
In flight meals : RM 30
Baggage 20kg (KUL-ICN) : RM 102
Baggage 25kg (ICN-KUL) : RM 114
Insurance : RM 36.33
TOTAL : RM 1,208.03

IZZ
Flight Ticket AirAsia : RM 837.70 / return
Seats : RM 88 / return
In flight meals : RM 30

Insurance : RM36.33
Baggage (KUL-ICN-KUL) : FREE sebab share with mama ;P
TOTAL : RM 992.03

GRAND TOTAL FOR FLIGHT TICKET AND ADD ONS : RM 2,200.06

Seat memang sengaja beli sebab tanak terpisah dengan Izz dan nak duduk sebelah tingkap. Duduk tepi tingkap boleh buat Izz leka , takde la budak kecik ni meragam.


2. AIRBNB GUESTHOUSE

Sepanjang 10 hari 9 malam aku stay di SoDam Guesthouse. GH ni terletak di area Mapo-gu, berdekatan dengan Hongdae dan Sinchon. Just 2 minute walking from Sinchon station.

MYSELF
10D9N : RM 2,256.86 / 5 pax = RM 451.37

TOTAL : RM 451.40

Kalau RM 451.37 bahagikan 9 malam. Means 1 malam hanya RM 50.15. Murah kan? 😍

IZZ
FREE for child 12 years and below
TOTAL : RM 0

GRAND TOTAL FOR GUESTHOUSE : RM 451.37

Pada aku cost ni memang dah murah sangat. Mostly aku survey cost per night between RM 60 ~ 90 . Korang kena bijak pilih . Kena rajin search GH location dan paling penting tengok review dari guest lain.

Nanti aku akan buat post khas tentang SoDam GH ye . Kita fokus pada budget dulu di post ni.

3.TRANSPORTATION

Cara nak tahu total cost korang kena plan itinerary dulu. Lepas tu install apps 'Korea Subway'. Apps ni boleh guna offline dan ada show cost ke each station.

MYSELF

T-Money : ₩ 50,000 @ RM 189.50

Airport Bus : ₩ 20,000 return @ RM 75.80

Gapyeong Tour Bus : ₩ 6,000 @ RM 22.74

TOTAL : ₩ 76,000 @ RM 288.70

IZZ

T-Money : ₩ 20,000 @ RM 94.75

Airport Bus : ₩ 16,000 return @ RM 60.64

Gapyeong Tour Bus : ₩ 6,000 @ RM 22.74

TOTAL : ₩ 42,000 @ RM 159.20

GRAND TOTAL FOR TRANSPORTATION : RM 447.90

Budget asal aku adalah ₩ 80,000 for all transportation cost. Jimat ₩ 4,000! 😁 . Mostly attraction place di Korea adalah walking distance. Dan cost to each station ₩ 1,250, that why total cost transportation aku kurang dari budget asal.

Untuk Izz aku beli single entry t-money . Kat setiap subway station mesti ada machine untuk beli single entry t-money. Sometimes aku tak beli pun untuk Izz. Just main redah selit sekali masuk 😂 .

4. MEALS / STREET FOODS / SNACK

GRAND TOTAL FOR ENTRANCE FEE : ₩ 118,500 @ RM 431.12


6. DIDI - SERVICE GUIDE

Untuk service guide , Didi charge ₩ 70,000 per day / group. Aku ambil service untuk 9 hari. Last day ke airport balik sendiri je.

Kenapa aku ambil service guide ??
1st, sebab aku bawak anak dan aku juga trip leader yang arrange segala persediaan ke Korea . Aku juga responsible pegang dan uruskan duit group trip. Jadinya macam tak confident nak uruskan segala perjalanan di Seoul nanti.

2nd, aku tanak buang masa sesat cari jalan ke setiap attraction place. Means sepatutnya sehari korang boleh cover 4/5 tempat tapi sebab sesat bagai cuma dapat cover 3 tempat je. Dah rugi masa kat sini, no no no .

Below cost upah service guide.

₩ 70,000 x 9 days = ₩ 630,000
₩ 630,000 / 5 pax = ₩ 126,000
TOTAL ₩ 126,000 ➡ RM 477.50

**Child tak share bayar untuk service guide.



7. TOTAL BUDGET FOR ALL COMPULSORY COST

MYSELF ;-
Flight Ticket          : RM 1,208.03
Guesthouse           : RM 451.40
Transportation     : RM 288.70

GRAND TOTAL FOR ALL COST : RM 5,009.30

Btw, grand total RM 5,009.30 tak include personal expenses like sourvenir and shopping ye. Ni ada cost untuk wajib je.

Kalau korang pergi tak bawa kid just ambil kira total cost in yellow highlighted kat atas , RM 3,586.13.

Kalau korang nak jimat lagi, tak perlu ambil service guide. Travel secara bebas tanpa ambil any package. Yang pastinya korang kena extra rajin untuk study and buat research la especially for subway maps. Makanan pulak korang boleh bawa dry foods dari Malaysia macam Brahim's , sambal kering, serunding , beras, biskut dan Maggi. At least budget tu tak akan over than RM 3,000 untuk 10 hari kalau cut service guide dan makanan. Dan jugak kalau korang alert and fast book Air Asia promo boleh je dapat below 1k include add ons.

Oppss ! Belum abes lagi! 😄 . Nak sambung cost lost utk souvenir dan shopping pulak .


8. SOUVENIR AND SHOPPING

Budget aku bawak RM 3,000 @ ₩ 850,000 hanya utk shopping dan beli souvenir . Kononnya nak shopping sakan 😅 . Last² duit balance banyak lagi. Alhamdullilah , nafsu dapat di kawal 😜 .

Bawah list barang yg aku beli . Sorry takde gambar, terasa malas nak filter cari gambar 🙏 :-

Memang aku banyak spend beli jajan Izz sebab Izz selalu meragam especially time petang sebab dah penat sangat berjalan. May be sebab Izz selalu meragam buat aku takde mood nak shopping sangat 😌 .

GRAND TOTAL FOR SHOPPING & SOURVENIR : ₩ 353,000 @ RM 1337.90

GRAND TOTAL FOR NO 1 UNTIL NO 8 : RM 6,347.20

Pape pun bergantung pada budget korang dan berapa lama korang nak stay Korea.

Oke la, aku stop sampai sini dulu . Rasa panjang sgt dah post ni. Penat menaip 😓 . Hopefully post ni dapat membantu korang yang ada planning ke Korea.
