: Weather and Clothing

October brings mild and pleasant autumn weather to Jeju Island, South Korea's southernmost province with its unique subtropical climate. Average temperatures on the island range from lows of 15°C(59°F) to comfortable highs of 22°C(72°F), warmer than mainland Korea due to its island location, though visitors should note that October can bring occasional rain showers as it's one of the rainier autumn months. It's recommended to wear light layers such as long-sleeve shirts, light sweaters, and comfortable trousers, along with a light jacket or cardigan for cooler evenings, and don't forget to pack a light raincoat or umbrella for unexpected showers.
Make sure to check the weather before you leave.

: Credit Card

Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards are accepted throughout much of South Korea. Most of the businesses widely use and accept payment by credit cards, including at major hotels, department stores, and general shops. However, check the service availability before making purchases as some stores may not provide this service.

: Tax and Tipping

Korea is basically a no-tip culture. Value-added tax is levied on most goods and services at a standard rate of 10% and is included in the retail price. Sometimes, expensive restaurants and luxury hotels may add a service charge of 10%. Thus, you do not necessarily have to prepare for extra charges since it will be included in the bill.
