- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2019
- It was strange expereince we had. We traveled by train from South Korea to the North Korea border. The journey embarked from Seoul ( The capital city of South Korea ) We decided to take a train by ourselves instead of taking DMZ tour by bus from Seoul. The DMZ can only be visited as part of a guided tour, during which travelers get the chance to see the Joint Security Area (JSA), also known as Panmunjom, where the North and South met for peace talks during the war.

Hi, We are Jimmy and Tah,
American and Thai Millennials left the career in military and finance to become full-time travelers, documenting our memories along the way. Met in August 2015 in South Korea, kicked off traveling in September 2017 with $4000 in a savings account and first started publishing our journey on the way we live the life we have always dreamt of - traveling and being able to work wherever we love ( as long as there is Wi-Fi and coffee)
☼ CURRENT STATUS: homeless, live the life out of luggage, travel non-stop, and grow love along the way.
☼ Still want to know more about each of us ? : bit.ly/2Un8MsM
Thank you for joining us along this crazy journey

Very beautiful and cinematic opening scenes❤️👌🏼
Thank you so much!
Korea has been referred to as the “Land of the Morning Calm”. Then the party begins.
Tah speaks Korean?? Amazing! 🙏
It is so so amazing!
What a great filming this is. Thank you . You two are just brilliant.
Thank you so so much!
I visited the DMZ from the North Korean side and that was great, it is much more relaxed and much easier than this looks. The bus from Pyongyang is long and uncomfortable, but its all part of the experience. From the north you cannot enter the famous blue buildings but you can stand on the balcony right next to them and look across (and photos with the Northern soldiers are allowed). Its not for everyone, but I recommend the north! It is very very interesting.
That sounds awesome!
Im going for my solo trip to Seoul after xmas. Watching this makes me more excited to explore the city..
Seoul is in South Korea. There is the North Korea which is a separate country and Pyongyang is its' capital. Many people think Korea is one country. Actually you have to be clear about whether it is South Korea you are going or North Korea.
I was stationed on the DMZ (MDL) in '67
Bit younger than you, did HOT rotation there in 1991, ours was one of the last. RoK took over completely shortly after. Bet your time was a bit more exciting, though we still had occasional South-bound bullets to keep things interesting (none ever reached us, no "real" threat).
If you are military, you can go to OSAN Air Base and buy the DMZ/JSA tour from MWR. They take us all the way inside the Blue UN building at the JSA.
thanks for the insight. might just pass on this when i get the chance to visit Korea
Your intro in every video is so good🙌 it sets the mood & story of every video 🙂
Very beautiful, Thank you for sharing.
A few years ago I was lucky to visit the DMZ through a Seoul tour company out of the Koreana Hotel. Very good experience since I was able to see a number of different sites in the DMZ, which included that train station. We were bussed around. Tight security and our bus was frequently boarded by US military checking IDs. I would visit again.
Enjoy watching your videos, keep going guys. Your I’m my prayers.
Thank you so much!
I didn’t know that Taha speaks fluent Korean 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾
ADDUU AHMED she graduation from Korea
Yea! ITs amazing!
1:23 he is talking about ppl are awake all over the night for party and it is so quiet. but he wears in the subway station with no sunlight super dark sunglasses. lol
I like the onboard train movement shots
Amazing. Nice video.
love the vid!!!
Awesome vid. You guys have a fun together.
We try to haha
very nice, my husband David has been to the DMV before!...thank you, very informative and I have pictures of that station but I forgot where it was!
I wish you a fun tour. Love you much. ♥️
Love you guys 🙌🏾
Thanks for sharing this experience. ❤️❤️❤️12:52❤️❤️❤️😊
Tah on food: "(what ever food she happens to be passing) is my favorite!" hahaha I love it! ;-)
Thanks for the informations. 👍🇧🇩🇵🇭
You guys are a funny bunch. Love watching your cool travels! Nay-Ho from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Thank you so much ❤️
Welcome Back. I went to Korea and the DMZ on a teaching fellowship about 10 years ago with Korea University and the Ministry of Culture with 14 other U.S. teachers, and did the Blue Buildings and stuff. It was kinda nice because we were the only ones there at the time and for our entire 3 week trip we had our own translators from the University (International Studies Grad Students). At the DMZ they made us put away any camera with a big lens. My little point ant shoot was fine though. I have a picture of a North Korean soldier looking at me with binoculars taking a picture of him..LOL He was on the steps of the main building across the way. Its a bit blurry since I just had a little camera.
Excellent Film 👍👍👍
Careful always
Best of luck and safe journey
I would say it depends what you want. Since your trip is about the train trip to north Korea and that area incl tour approx 40.000 won (the same with tour-bus is approx 60.000 won)
If you want to go to go to Panmunjom-Joint Security Area its approx 100.000 won with bus
If you want to se both its approx 160.000 won with bus
I visited DMZ in 2017. Went with the tour bus. We went to few places around the DMZ and inside the 3rd tunnel etc. It was an awesome experience but it's very sad that there are two koreas. Waiting for unification. They charged 70 usd. Inclduing pick up taxi from the hotel which i was in incheon at that time. The JSA experience was not included because u needed to book 3 days before coming. the guide spoke in english. Very good english, honestly. She was korean.
it's crazy how clean the train station is. It's like an airport.
So beautiful video love you guys so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Your trip is so deep every time. I like it.
A lot of personal thoughts and expressions
At 10:12, the coffee Tah is holding is Maxim Mocha Gold. It's from South Korea, and it is awesome :D I drink it all the time (like right now). You can buy some on Amazon.
You impersonation of her is spot on! Oh wee, noodle lol 😂
Look so cool
I thought it was a cool video and a chance to see something different. Thanks. The deer were cool considering I am sitting in the woods hunting while I watched this video. Thanks for being you and sharing with us all. 😊
hahah Tim if you want to send me some of that jerky you get from this year i will accept hahaha
I’ll keep that in mind. What are the immigration laws on mailing it? Need meat and then see!
Lmao the "ooouyy" part Jimmy said about thai girls is so true.
hahahhahahaha
Nice video
South/North Korean border: security everywhere
Brazil/Paraguay border: biggest mall on earth! XD
Is it becuz one country has cheaper taxes than the other? Lol
Last time I was stationed in Korea was 1988. Did 4 tours there in the 80's and there was no train to the DMZ.
The US military I had contact with at the DMZ was among the most stupid people I have ever meet travelling. Embarrassing for the US to have people like them representing their country. I am an x-military and has been to 78 countries, I have also been on the other side of the border for 12 days and visited DMZ from the north as well. You can’t compare the two on the same day, north was relaxed and dignified, the south was a hyped propaganda clown show, it was so damn embarrassing.
The last time I was there, the train station was closed. What I know is, for you to go to the border, you need some clearance, thus you need a tour group to process the clearance. I only have the short tour as I didn’t know that a clearance is needed for you to go to the boarder.
"A lot of rice please" - Tah that sounds like us haha 😅
Thankyou for the sub
In Australia you still find knonesty stalls of the road side for fruit and veg
I had similar DMZ tour ( i think provide transportation only) in Nov 2010. ( for JSA, must join expensive local guided tour). I asked bus driver or korean tourist the time need to get back the bus and photo to mark the vehicle number of bus. I follow korean tourist , they gave me simple explaination and listen to other tour guide occasionally as long don't stop me. OK for me due to budget corncern
Gidday, my father was on the DMZ with the Australian army in 1954-55. When he went on leave to Japan, the exchange rate for 10 Shillings = $1.00 au, was over 1000 yen. Today the exchange rate is 70 yen. Camping in winter on the DMZ is pretty harsh, the Canadians complained. My dad could spend to whole day in Tokyo, using only the small change in his pocket. My daughter did the same tour as you. She also could not get into the building. It seems if North Korea is having a hissy fit, they close down the building.
You guys are amazing as always! But I think the JSA tour is the one with the blue buildings. If I’m wrong I’m sorrry lol I’ll shutty! Hahah anyway love your vlogs the most
Thank you so much!
Currently, the video tour train is temporarily suspended due to Corona.
You're good at using Instagram. Welcome to Korea.
subscribed!
Thank you so much!
interesting 👍
Great video guys. My Thai wife got her visa to America in July. She starts her English classes on Monday. All I have to say you are a lucky man Jimmy with Tah speaking so many languages.
ill bill congratulations to u and your wife. Treat her well! Help her with her English and the understanding of our culture. But don’t forget hers. I’m only saying this because I’m a Caucasian woman married to a Hmong man with roots from Thailand and China.. Take care and be safe in your life together.
Thank you Shannon, you are right. I can have the best of intensions sometimes but I still need to listen to her and respect her culture. Sometimes I think I know what she is saying to me and I get it completely backwards. Just always checked in with her to make sure we understand rack other.
Good job ya'll.....
Thank you so much!
This is so cool btw i cant believe this was posted 17mins ago
Wow! I know the place well because my military life was in the Dora mountain and JSA(Joint Security Area) when I was serving in army. Back then, there was US army camp and bunker around the Dora Observatory and things are different now in this video.
Things change quick!
Not funny but I remember you guy's had less then 5,000 subscribers.... Great JOB!!!!! Keep going guy's.....
Wow thats amazing! Thank you so much for following our journey!
That self service store is a heaven for @simonwilson 😂
we did the bus tour and it was amazing, we went ito dmz had a lecture from soldiers did the tunnels went to the train station went to the look out crossed over into north korea it was fucking awesome
Bab-Rice, Gim-Seaweed, Jim Carrey ( Holly act )
I've only seen one kid of self serve store like that, a bread bakery on an island in Greece. The town shops are open all night and the bakery people go just get what they need and drop some euros in a basket
This happens in islamic country where they have a law for cheating and for stealing just because no one is at the store. Be extra careful especially when no one is around. This is the time they want to catch the sinful person.
13:10 Ssibal!
interesting i'm planning to go to South Korea next year would it recommended to visit this border with kids?
Me goes to Korea
Google translate:my time has come
I did the bus tour, skim through my video if you want to see that aspect. only spent 5 mins at the station

What kind of paperwork do you need other than passport?
Next stop...Vladivostok???
Oodles of noodles mmmmmm
Human passengers Jimmy?
That train was like from Woodstock days
I was thinking the same thing about the train, so colorful and couldn't tell if it was advertisements or artwork all over inside and out.... MTA could use some of that kind of inspiration.
Chasing Jaunts it’s a happy way to travel, our MTA is bad here, we don’t have 1 lol
Just found you 2. I’m in .......
Awesome! Thank you so much!
I D O N T K N O W I F T H I S I S A M O V I E O R A V L O G ! : ) ILOVETHIS
What was the price to travel
Oh my...your school plate was overfilled with foods....let me guessed...you must be from the South...haahha ..
What train did you take ? This is soooo confused….
Mark 3:04 -- What happened with the credit card scenario? You told them the tickets were already paid. But they still asked for the credit card. Did you get robbed at the first location?
No we didnt. They used the card to look up the tickets
Ahhh,. okay. Thanks
Yut
What is the thing that keep his camera hanging on the bag strap?

Pohang Korea 2001 usmc
พี่งติดตามจ้าากำลังไล่ดูทุกคลิป🥰🥰🥰🥰
Aww thank you so much!
Very tragic how families were separated post WWII and the result since. No civilians can cross at the DMZ from north to south. If North Koreans want to flee they have to go up to China and risk their lives and safety. Many who have attempted to get out of DPRK (N. Korea) remain missing.
Wow i have never hear that! So sad
@@DivertLiving Korea was split in half, the US appointed a leader for South Korea and Russia appointed a leader/dictator for the North
Lotteria? Why oh why!! Long live the golden arches
hahahahaha
Come to Pakistan tea is fantastic by abhinandan
