thecottonmill Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi, I'm thinking of taking a short break with my mum - maybe four or five days. She suggested Korea. Has anyone been on a package holiday there? Has anyone got any recommendations? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The thursday issue of the Bankok Post, classifieds section, always has lots of ads for package tours to places like Japan, Hongkong, Singapore and I think also South Korea (Am I right in assuming you don't want to take your mum to Pyongyang?). The prices I often find amazingly low, but I would be afraid they put you up in a very much out of the way hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfukata Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 package tours to So. Korea during winter months are relatively low due to the cold winter there, you'll see a spike in travel during the chinese new Years period as So. Korea observes this holiday period. why don't you search on the airline website; KAL (Korean airline) or Asiana for some insight, perhaps you can search KNTO, Korean National tourist organization site. I have been there during winter and the mercury dropped to -20'C... had to drink a ton of Jinro sohju & eat kimchee..to keep warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonsalviz Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Good Lord, why would you want to leave Thailand and go to Korea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Good Lord, why would you want to leave Thailand and go to Korea? Because wine is cheap. Oh and I like the cold, because I go their skiing, I'm talking about South Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
