Korea-Japan 13 Day 12 Nights Trip Cost

I recently had quite an awesome trip to Korea and Japan, spending around 7 days in each country in January 2015. The goal was actually to experience the winter season and hopefully snowfall but that didn't happen. Nonetheless it was a great trip, with us trying skiing for the first time, visiting 3 theme parks and many more! Here's a breakdown of my trip cost and I'll post reviews of the different places I visited a little later.

Trip Cost (For 2 Pax)

Airfares

Thai Airways: $1315.40 (SIN > Bkk > ICN & HND > Bkk > SIN)

Vanilla Air: $240.25 (ICN > NRT)

Hotel

Korea - Metro Hotel: $782.38 (6 nights)

(Booked via Expedia)

Japan - Best Western Shinjuku Astina Hotel: $891.17 (6 nights)

(Booked via Otel)

Insurance

MSIG (via DBS): $132.60

Total: $3361.80 ($1680.90 per pax)

I used Thai Airways because they were the only airlines that allowed open jaw tickets to be booked with their promotion. This allowed us to enter Seoul and leave from Japan. Also, I used promotion codes for my hotels but cause I'm rather busy lately to post the promo codes when I was booking they have expired by now. Effectively, I had 7% off on expedia and I also used a citibank credit card which gave x15 points. For Otel,  it was the cheapest already and I had a 9% promo code from their Facebook page.

I'll be posting reviews of some of the places I visited during my trip real soon. Also, a new set of promo codes that are still valid :D
