How we check things
Not everything on a travel site can be tested. Some things can be looked up. We try to be clear about which is which.
- Payment and connectivity guides are based on first-hand testing. Bokang sets up each app and eSIM plan on a foreign card and confirms what actually works.
- Visa and transit rules are checked against publications from the National Immigration Administration (NIA). No one can self-test a visa rule, so we cite the source instead of claiming otherwise.
- Airline and airport details come from the airline or airport's own published terms, linked at the foot of each page.
Every factual page carries a last-updated date and a source list. If something looks wrong, the correction address is listed on the about page.
