Driving in South Korea: What Foreign Tourists Need to Know Before Hitting the Road

If you're planning a trip to South Korea and considering renting a car to explore the country more freely, you're not alone. While Korea has one of the most efficient public transportation systems in the world, driving can offer the flexibility to go off the beaten path—think remote mountain temples, coastal villages, and scenic countryside roads that buses rarely reach. But before you jump into the driver’s seat, there are a few things every international tourist should know to drive safely and confidently in Korea. From essential documents to road rules and unspoken etiquette, here’s a no-fluff guide based on real traveler experiences. 1. Do You Need an International Driving Permit? Yes. Most foreign visitors need an International Driving Permit (IDP) based on the 1949 Geneva Convention (not the 1968 Vienna one—important!). You must also carry your home country driver’s license.

I Used Chingu Mobile SIM Card in Korea — for First-Time Visitors

When I first planned my trip to Korea, I expected SIM cards to be a straightforward thing. But after about ten minutes of research, I found myself in a rabbit hole of options—eSIMs, physical SIMs, airport booths, courier delivery—and honestly, it got overwhelming fast. I eventually chose Chingu Mobile , not because someone told me it was the best, but because it looked beginner-friendly. And since I’d never set up an eSIM before, that mattered a lot to me. Now that I’ve used it for two weeks across Seoul and Busan, I wanted to share how it actually went—what worked, what could’ve been better, and what I wish I knew before I arrived. Why I Ended Up Choosing Chingu Mobile I wasn’t looking for the cheapest SIM, just one that would work without much fuss. Their site was in English, they offered both physical SIMs and eSIMs, and the airport pickup instructions were really clear. I went with the 15-day unlimited eSIM , mostly because I didn’t want to deal with opening my phone and finding a ...
