Guys! I was hoping to go to Mudfest this coming weekend but it seems Adventure Korea has only 1 place left. I will be travelling with at least 1 more..Is ther any alternatives on a travel company to go with?

Go to the bus station, book a ticket, find a love motel, enjoy mudfest?

I'm looking to go as well, and I would love to go with a group since I'm pretty shy and just arrived in Korea. So if you find any other groups going let me know!

Yep, I'm going with Korean safari and they currently have 8 seats left for this weekend. It also leaves a little later than AK, and from Itaewon, so it works for me. Leaves earlier on the Sunday, though. But I'll be too hungover to care. Good luck...

Doublecheck your receipts. I've heard of extra zeros being added to debit and credit cards.

Why would you use a company to go to mud fest. Its a free event which you can easily take a train or bus too. If you want over night find somewhere there or bookin advance or take the first train back.

By the way it kinda sucks this year, they moved it down the dead end of the beach. All the events are around gravel which hurts to walk on in bare feet. They also have less stuff going on. Highlight this year was the mudslinging, but that i think was an unplanned event. They had mud sculptures and people were picking pits off to throw at each other and some unfortunate people who unknowingly parked in the middle of the action got their cars caked in mud. All pretty funny really. Oh yeah and no free mud soap this year.

Was there Tuesday and Tuesday night. All 3 motels we checked within walking distance of the festival were 50,000 a night. All had rooms available. Had raw fish for 2 at one of the boardwalk restaurants for 80,000w, with plenty of booze. Of course, weekends will be different, but we had a great time.

mudfest is an extravaganza of horny drunken foreigners

that being said, you can get there for 10k won from yongsan station, cheaper if you live in the lower parts of seoul


don't waste your money on a travel company

How was it this year?

you can also catch a train from Cheonan-Asan Station. Saemaul or Mugungwha in the direction of Iksan go to Daecheon Station where it is a quick taxi ride to the beach. Did it this weekend and scored a pretty cool motel. We got a room right on the roof with the roof patio and things for us to use at our leisure as long as "we did not throw anything off the roof" which the dude who ran the place warned us very firmly.
