Need some advice on where to go for 3 days in February. Friday-Monday.
I would be willing to fly somewhere as well.. Looked into Beijing but the tickets are damn expensive!! 450k! Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Maybe Japan?

3 days isn't really long enough to go anywhere....

Maybe Jeju if you really want to get out? 3 days isn't worth bothering leaving the country over, in my opinion.

Have you looked around for Beijing flights? I paid just over 200,000 in August with China Air (or Air China?).

I went to Hong Kong Friday - Monday and thought it was a sufficient amount of time.

I think with good planning a long weekend is well worth it. I mean what's the difference between going to Jeju and going to somewhere like Fukuoka? Similar cost and travel times.

A RT flight to Jeju is about 120k. A round trip flight to Fukuoka or the ferry is 300k+.

Go tropical for a major release from winter grey cold.

Question leave Busan 840 am, arrive Bangkok 1230 pm lunchtime

day 1 all afternoon, day 1 nighttime
day 2 all day and all night
day 3 all day until after dinner

coming back, leave last night at midnight (12:25am) and arrive at dawn (730am)

(it's even shorter to Guam)

and CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP... for $30 u.s. (1000 baht) you get a very nice hotel, half that price if you wanna go guesthouse

and the food!!!!

2 days Thailand >>>>>>>>> 3 days Jeju (in February!)
