Booking Tips
Book flights between cities in advance. Budget airlines are cheap but sell out fast.
Stay near gaming districts: Gangnam (Seoul), Akihabara (Tokyo), Siam (Bangkok).
Check esports tournament schedules before booking. Align your trip with major events.
Get a multi-country SIM card or portable WiFi. You'll need it for streaming and maps.
Learn basic gaming terms in Korean, Japanese, and Thai. Or just use emotes.
Bring a backpack for daily hauls. You'll buy more gaming stuff than you planned.
