Shopping in Seoul is cheaper than the US and UK and there are five reasons why. I spent a week in South Korea price-checking Nike, Adidas, designer and Korean brands to find out how much you really save shopping in Korea.
From the weak won to the 10% VAT refund tourists get at the till, Korea has quietly become one of the best value shopping destinations in the world.
🇰🇷 Shopping in Korea — what you need to know:
Tax refund: spend â‚©15,000+, show your passport, tax comes off at the till
Bring your passport everywhere
Scan receipts at the airport before you fly or the refund gets reversed
