• The Korean Won is the unit of Korean currency. Credit cards, e.g. VISA, Master Card, American Express and Diners Club, are widely accepted in most restaurants and hotels.
Electricity
• Outlets for 220 Volts are commonly available in hotels and other facilities in Korea. Please check the power supply before using equipment.
Tipping
• Tipping is not a traditional Korean custom. A 10% service charge is added to your bill at all tourist hotels and so tipping is not expected. It is not necessary to tip a taxi driver unless he assists you with luggage or provides an extra service.
