Does anyone know if in the vicinity of Cheongju (청주) airport there is a jjimjilbang or hotel? Do you have to travel into central Cheongju for such pleasures?

Ta very much

If it were me, I would get into any taxi and say something like "Cheongju yeogwan" (여관) and the ajosshi would get the drift. They would know where to take you.

It has been a looonnngg time since I've been to Cheongju.

But what I remember .... across the street from the Cheongju Bus Terminal there is a Lotte Mart and quite a number of what I could call jjimjilbang-tels.

Fancy, small, modern, well hidden saunas that are quite private, all around that block.

No there isn't.
Easier to get a love-motel.

You could also stay in one near to one of the Daejeon stations, it's only about 40 minutes by train if IRC.

You might get more luck calling the tourist information office at (area code) 1330, or try the lonely planet page. Good luck.
