i've been doing some research on Discover Seoul Pass. so this is so helpful and came at the right time! tq for sharing and being so helpful, much appreciated ^^
@@yourkoreafriend Sorry, but may I check with you a question I have? Will the pass automatically start if I use it to take the subway/bus first? (ETC: I use the pass for transportation only on Day 1 and 2, but I only 'begin' the attractions on Day 3/will the pass start on Day 1 or Day 3?) thank you!
@@sooling5529 Hello! No the pass will not start until you use it to enter first free attraction. :) You can use the pass as T-money card without activating the pass :)
What information do you put for Reason of travel, Address and phone number of where I will be staying.. (airport address and Phone # ?? ) and korea contact number....
Are you just doing a layover? if yes, you can put airport info. If you have an acommodation, then put its info :) For the reason of travel, put Tour if you are just visiting Korea. :)
Hi I enjoyed watching the video but would like to know if I can continue to use the discover soul pass as T money card after the 72 hour period or do I need to purchase a new T money card if we are staying longer?
Hi I want to travel smooth and slow to enjoy everything and every destination would I be like 3 tourist spots in a day so is it worth to purchase the Discovery Seoul Pass or just the T Money Card? Thanks ❤
Thank you so much for this video! You did answer my question without me even asking! I have been contemplating buying this pass before my trip next week! But with your video, I feel more confident buying the 72-hour pass. Thank you for this video!
Hello, i have a question not related to travel pass. I am planning a trip to Seoul and how can I tell if restaurants are accepting credit cards? Will they have a visa/master sticker posted in front of the restaurant? Please advise. Thank you,
Hello! Mostly, every restaurant accepts cards these days. It's actually hard to find a restaurant that doesn't take cards so I am not sure about this. But if they don't, then there will be a sign saying cash only. But it's really rare to find one.
Hi! I found your video on my TH-cam home. Very helpful! Anyway, I want to ask.. if I buy Discover Seoul Pass then we will get Sim Card (SK Telecom), my question is: will I get internet data as well or I have pay extra for it? Also is it sim card that can make call/message or not? Thank you!
Hello! You are getting a free Sim Card if you purchase the pass? Where are you getting that deal? (curious) I want to know lol. Normally, there are two types of Sim cards, Data only or Data + call. You will have to check with the place where you get the free sim card to know which type of sim card it is. :)
@@yourkoreafriend, it's written in the Discover Seoul Pass website about the free sim card. I wonder if it's include data and/or call or not at all (only card).
Oh! I remembered. It's one of the things listed under free attractions. It is only LTE data and lasts only 24 hours. Also it will activate the pass once you receive it. Sorry about the confusion! 😀
This has been super helpful. I’m coming to Korea in April all I need next is to search out the local food I only know kimchi and Kimbap (woo young woo favourite)
Hi I tried using my MasterCard to purchase Seoul pass on their official website and it never went through. I have downloaded and installed the app website requires. But still, I ended up on a blank page after I entered the card information and transaction was failed every time. Do you know what happened and what I can do?
Thanks for all the tips. They're very helpful. If we get to Seoul late at night and use the Seoul pass for AREX, will it activate and count that as day 1? Thanks
Hello, I was thinking of buying a 24hours pass online and use AREX, all 4 palaces as well as the N. Seoul tower on day 1. If that is the case would it make sense to buy the pass? Can you buy this pass when you land in Seoul? I’m landing in Seoul at 7 30am so it is possible for me to cover all these attractions in a day
Hello Yong, your videos are very informative! At 4:28 in this video, you said "I would say I would probably buy a 72 hour pass to go to the free attraction for three days and then get discounts for remaining travel days in Korea." For my family in 2 weeks, we are planning to go to Lotte World, E Crusie and Namsan Tower. BUt with what you said at 4:28, should we use the 3-day pass to go to the free attractions for 3 days and then go to Lotte, E Crusie and Namsan on other days?
as i watched your video about T-money, M-pass and discover Seoul pass. I'm planning stay around Seoul and explore inside the city I'm not sure which one is fit to me. for discover Seoul pass hopeful for free attraction and discount and I think I will buy this pass to cover 3 days but I'm not sure between M pass and T money better. Can you give me an any idea?
Hello! You can use Discover Seoul pass as T-money card. So you don't need to purchase T-money card. Just charge money to use it as T-money card. Umm, I will just use T-money card instead of M-pass because you already have discover seoul pass that could be used as T-money card. But if you think you will be taking a lot of transportations a day, then M-pass is better. :)
If we buy the 72-hour Discover Seoul Pass and use the free one-way A-REX train, does that start the clock for the 72-hour period? We would pickup the Pass at Incheon airport and then take the A-Rex train. Does using the T-Money function start the clock for the 72-hour period? We will be in Korea for 3 weeks but we do not want to start using the 72-hour period until the 3rd week.
@daechoi9016 after redeeming AREX ticket from Incheon Airport, does the clock start ticking? I was told by Klook Customer Service that it will not start ticking until you activate it at an attraction. But K-Bus will activate clock. Can you verify? I am purchasing the 72 hours DSP for my Korea visit next month.
Thank you. This information is excellent. I am visiting Seoul in October for the first time and your videos are so helpful. I would love to buy you a coffee or tea as a thank you.
As I understand AREX is a subway so how many time that I can travel with the card or this card pass it helpfull only attraction free with with one way transport? Thank you💕
Yes it's only one way transport with free attractions. You can only take one AREX ride for free with this card. If you charge the card like T-money card, then you can use it to pay for the subways and AREX. You can also watch my other video about M-Pass if you are interested in the subway pass. 😉 th-cam.com/video/NNa0Sh7AK14/w-d-xo.html
Yes, they will give you a voucher so that you can use it on the AREX ticket machine. So you can take any train in the valid period. Hope this answers! 😆
My korea friend, I have a question. Which is the best option for lodging in korea for a family of 5? So far, hotel is not a good option as most of them are made for family of 4. Usually I use airbnb but is there any other options? We are planning to visit for summer 2023 for 10 weeks. Thanks.
Go for guesthouses near unseo town ,there are a lot of them. it's close to the airport (2 subway stations from airport) and away from the city with a well connected subway you can reach seoul in 1hr . It's your preference, I prefer all my luggage to be closer to airport and away from city so I can sleep peacefully at night 🤗
Hello! AREX code is given to you when you purchase the pass which you will need to input it into the AREX machine to get the AREX ticket. So when you use the card pass for t-money card, it would not activate the pass. :)
Hello! May I ask u if the pass are automatically start when u use the arex ? Or is it start when we enter the first free attraction? Btw thanks for the really beneficial review videos u made! xoxo
@yourkoreafriend can you please clear if we use the pass as T money on subway or Bus, does it activate as in counts as Day 1? Or the timer only starts once you use it on a attraction?
@@yourkoreafriend Dont think so. The Klook Customer Service told me that redeeming AREX ticket in airport doesn't start the clock ticking on the DSP. But redeeming K-Bus from airport will start the clocking ticking.

please create video itinerary to maximize Seoul Pass and Busan Pass hekhek
Hello. I am traveling with my wife. Can this pass be used by more than 1 person, or is for a single user?
Even the card is expired, we can still load it and enjoy discount? Can we still use it as T money card with kids discount?
what is the validity of the T money part of this card ? Does it expire after 72 hours, or can we use it later also , in seoul and in busan also ?
Hi Yong, Do you think I can use the pass to use for one way train to Busan when i am leaving Seoul? Then is it worth it to get the pass? Thanks!
hi, if the pass expires (after 72 hours), can i still use it as tmoney for transportation or do i need to buy a separate tmoney?
This was very useful, thank you.
What information do you put for Reason of travel, Address and phone number of where I will be staying.. (airport address and Phone # ?? ) and korea contact number....
Are you just doing a layover? if yes, you can put airport info. If you have an acommodation, then put its info :) For the reason of travel, put Tour if you are just visiting Korea. :)
Now they have 5 days pass, Do you think this is good deal?
Hi I enjoyed watching the video but would like to know if I can continue to use the discover soul pass as T money card after the 72 hour period or do I need to purchase a new T money card if we are staying longer?

hi, .. I read some article about DSP that you can still use it for the AREX & Seoul bike even after expiration.. is it true?
Hi I tried using my MasterCard to purchase Seoul pass on their official website and it never went through. I have downloaded and installed the app website requires. But still, I ended up on a blank page after I entered the card information and transaction was failed every time. Do you know what happened and what I can do?
Can you buy multiple passes? Like, when one expires, use another one?
Thanks for all the tips. They're very helpful. If we get to Seoul late at night and use the Seoul pass for AREX, will it activate and count that as day 1? Thanks
Hi Korea friend, if having the pass for 3 days, but I also took the tour package to Nami Island, the discount doesn't apply right?
Very helpful again,thank you.where can you get non spicy and seafood

Sounds great! Hope you can take advantage of the pass 😊
hi, will using the pass for getting discounts start the timer ?
No it would not :) It will start knce you visit first free attraction.
Hi! Do kids need a discover seoul pass too? Or just adults?
If the kid is under 6, then I think just paying for attractions are cheaper since subway is free for kids under 6. 😄
Can we use this pass for 7 people ? Or only one person can use it ?
you have to buy 7 passes
do you have a promo code for discover seoul pass
No I do not :( I wish I do lol
Hi, do you know if I can activate the AREX for return ticket to airport within the valid hr of the card instead?
