Hi everyone, I'm Chiawei from Taiwan. I've been considering a treatment in Korea, but honestly, I'm a bit unsure about the overall budget and schedule. I'd like to ask for your advice. Besides the treatment itself, there's the cost of airfare, accommodation, and food, which seems like a significant expense. Does anyone have any tips on how to plan smartly?
I'm thinking about how many days I should stay in Korea—should I allow for recovery time? If there's swelling or redness after the treatment, how long should I wait before flying back? Also, are certain areas more convenient or cheaper for accommodation? I don't have a clear budget limit yet, so I'd love to hear your experiences.
If anyone has made similar arrangements before, could you give me some advice? For example, how did you allocate your funds? How far in advance did you book? Are there any regrets? I want to plan this trip carefully, not impulsively, so any honest thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

I understand your concerns! I'm from Thailand and wanted to do the same thing. So, you have to calculate carefully because the costs of travel, accommodation, and food add up to a lot. When I asked people who had been there, they said you need to prepare several months in advance and think about recovery time. So, I'm glad you're not in a hurry. ❤️
I totally relate, because I'm from abroad and have been thinking the same thing! I think it's really important to set a realistic budget that includes all costs (tickets, hotel, food), not just the treatment itself. And don't forget to allow for a buffer for unexpected costs. As for how long to stay, maybe ask during their initial consultation about the recovery timeline, but from what I've heard, people usually plan a week or more so they don't rush home.
I did a similar trip from the US last year and honestly, I'd suggest budgeting for at least 5-7 days total to be safe — gives you time to rest and see how you're feeling before the flight home. Staying near public transit saved me so much money on transportation, and I ate way cheaper at the convenience stores and local spots than I expected, so that freed up more for the actual treatment!
