Jeju Island, Korea

Jeju Island is the largest island in Korea, one of the 9 provinces of Korea, located at the southwest of the Korean Peninsula. Roughly and oval in shape, it is 73 km from east to west and 41 km from north to south. Jeju is filled with and abundance of natural attractions! It is also known as a paradise island for honeymoon in Korea, with fresh air. You can reach Jeju either by air or by sea. There are direct flight from Japan (Tokyo), China (Shanghai) and Taiwan (Taipei) else you need to transit in Seoul. It takes 1 hour from Seoul by air or you can choose to take ferry from Busan(10 hours) or Makpo(5 hours).

Taking a flight to Jeju is expensive (even though domestic flight). If you are from Malaysia, the cheapest way is by taking Airasia to Hangzhou, take a bus or train to Shanghai, and here you can take the China Eastern Air to Jeju. Remember you need to apply for visa if you choose this path. Else you can choose to take the China Eastern Air to Shanghai and transit in Shanghai without checkout from the Pudong airport (do not need China Visa). This is very much cheaper as compare to take Korean Air to transit in Seoul. Flight from Shanghai to Jeju is only 1½ hours. Welcome to Jeju Island!
The best way to travel in Jeju Island is self-driving. Choose a car rental company from the ads beside and book it thru the website. (It is cheaper to book thru web than walk-in, furthermore we do not speak Korean, just show them the booking print out will save all the conversation.) Avis car rental is one of the choices because they are having a counter in the airport terminal. Present your booking print out at the counter and they will arrange you to the car pick up point by free shuttle bus. You would need to register here and pay for deposit. (Self driving in Jeju Island is easy because of the low traffic; the important thing is you must own an international driving license.)

If you are not a driver, a tour is recommended because most Korean are not English speaking. Choose a local tour from the ads beside, a package tour from your own country would only spend 2D1N here, which you are unable to enjoy the paradise here. You can also choose to take airport limousine bus to Seogwipo, tourist attraction located in the middle of the southern region of the island. Limousine Bus #600 will bring you to Seogwipo (big red and white color bus). The bus runs every 15 minutes; the bus stop is on the very left when you exit from the airport. This bus does several stops at hotels in the Jungmun tourist area and then goes to Seogwipo. You can buy tickets right inside the bus before the bus departs from the airport. The bus has comfortable seats and air-con, it takes about 1hour 20min from the airport to Seogwipo. Ticket costs 3.900 won to Jungmun area and 5.000 won to Seogwipo. If you are brave enough you can choose to travel by bus because most Korean are very helpful, there are airport shuttle buses and local buses service can bring you to most of the destination. Enjoy your trip!

**You are advisable to choose an apartment (with cooking facility) instead of hotel from the ads beside. Food in Jeju Island is expensive as you can cook for your own breakfast and dinner. If you are the RCI member, pick up this vacation during spring; you will enjoy an unforgettable vacation.

Macau

Macau is one of the Airasia destinations, if you are a Malaysian and you are able to grab the free ticket, it cost you about RM300/pax. Remember do not cross over the weekend in Macau if you wish to save. Hotel in Macau is double the price in the weekend (Friday & Saturday) and public holiday. By air, you will arrive at the Macau International Airport located in Taipa Island. Welcome to Macau!

As normal, you can just jump into a taxi for your journey, all taxi go by meters but surcharge applied to luggage, cross over island, thru and flow airport. Another way is you can take the bus No AP1 (MOP$3.30/pax and luggage MOP $3.00/piece) to the Macau Ferry Terminal. If you plan to take public, keep some coin because all buses are self pay (no change). Hong Kong dollar is acceptable here as 1 to 1 basis if you do not have any Macau dollar. Most of the buses stop at this terminal and you can either change for another public bus or take a ferry to Hong Kong as well.

Choose Venetian Hotel be your 1^st stop for a budget tour. Why I said so? You can take a free shuttle bus from airport to Venetian Hotel (save transportation cost). Once you step into this hotel you will find yourself reaching La Vegas, it is the same concept applied. You can choose to overnight here but the rate is about MOP $1,500/nite. If your budget is not allowable, you can choose other hotel thru the ads beside. You can choose another saving way by using the free hotel shuttle service to the Macau Ferry Terminal or the Barrier Gate, just jump into the bus which goes to the nearest location of your hotel. (Some hotel provide free shuttle from the Macau Ferry Terminal as well, check it out if you can just change shuttle at the terminal.)
Enjoy your trip!

Bangkok

Want to look for a budget trip? If you are from Malaysia, Bangkok is one of the best choice. Airasia bring you to the Suvarnabhumi International Airport (If you able to grab free ticket - it cost you about RM 250/pax).
Welcome to Bangkok!
After you check out from the airport, you might thinking of just take a taxi to the hotel in downtown. A taxi to downtown might cost you about 600-900Baht. The cheaper way is to take a taxi to On Nut Skyline (BTS) change to skyline. A taxi to On Nut also cost you about 400-500Baht, and BTS to downtown about 35Baht. Some might thinking of just buy an airport express bus ticket which cost you 150Baht to downtown (you can save 10Baht if you buy it in the flight).
The cheapest way and the local people using is take a local bus (you will need to pay less than 80Baht to downtown). Once you check out, take the escalator to the lowest floor, take a free shuttle bus (at the very left hand side of the building) to the airport public bus terminal. (Remember to collect a free map from the information counter and make sure the bus is label with "shuttle bus") After you reach the bus terminal, you have 2 choices to go to On Nut BTS station; by public bus No 552 cost you 35Baht or by van No 552-10 cost you only 25Baht.
You will stop at Tesco hypermarket, here you can start your journey, before that you can actually buy some drink at Tesco ........BTS can bring you to the downtown for 30-35Baht. If you are arriving in the weekend, you can go direct to Chatuchak(the last station call Mo Chit), it cost you only 40Baht.
Enjoy you trip! You can use the same way to return by waiting for the bus or van at the opposite side.
