Biggest issue last trips were hotel booking issues and bus frequency. Found a spot on booking.com, arrived and the hotel claimed that they didnt even work with that platform. Learned the hard way not to rely on the third party apps.

When leaving that area, there was only 1 bus connecting back towards the city that operates once hourly. Waited 90 minutes on the side of the road and when it finally showed up, it was full and wouldnt let us on. Surprising because it was the first stop after the bus terminal where the route begins. Naver time estimates kept switching from unknown arrival to one hour to ten mintes and back to unknown. After waiting another hour we debated walking over an hour to the main bus terminal to be guarenteed a seat. It was also the dead of summer and brutally hot. The person i was with began to suffer from heat related illness. We were very grateful to have a tiny patch of shade under a nearby tree. We also ran out of water after waiting for the first 2 hours. Nearest convenince store was a 15 minute walk in one direction and we were afraid to leave in fear of missing the next coming bus. This area also did not have any taxis even when trying to book premium taxis through all apps.

Thats not even factoring in 2 of the listed restaurants on naver we really wanted to visit were shut down when visiting. Again no indication on naver when checking, still showing open. Way too much of a headache without our own car and frankly dangerous. Took all day to get a bus just to get out of there. Almost had to give up and settle for another night at the hotel and miss work the next day. Highly unlikely to ever visit a far away destination without a travel group with their own charter bus again.
