That’s a great way to become part of a prisoner swap
The customs officer is just a box propped up by a stick
You usually do tours that are run by Chinese companies, and North Korea tries not to piss off China. I have a few friends who have gone
How fucking stupid do you have to be to voluntarily visit North Korea?
Do we know how dumb Dennis Rodman is?
Just average stupid.
It’s entirely possible though? Surprised that people don’t know this.
You of course need to follow some strict rules and can only go see the government sanctioned sights and tours. From what I remember it’s a lot of propaganda monuments and some caves.
Just behave and it’s not really risky or anything. It does sound pretty dull to me though.
I would argue that travel to North Korea - the world’s most repressive totalitarian state, with a lengthy history of violent subjugation - is inherently risky.
No worries, I travelled to the USA multiple times and came back safely.
Finally! How I have been waiting.
Yeah when I want to be shipped back with terminal brain damage I’ll get right on that.
Seriously I get wanting to visit traditionally off limits destinations but don’t make this one of yours.
I’ll say it again for slow kids. Don’t ever go to North Korea!
I feel like a lot of people here assume that you’re going to be automatically arrested when going to DPRK but it’s not completely true. You can get easily arrested and you have to follow strict cultural/government imposed rules.
The DPRK previously has done a “put it’s best foot forward” and keep tourists in a bubble where you’re not allowed to take pictures or videos unless in specifically permitted zones. It’s essentially a propaganda tour.
So you definitely can go to the DPRK as a tourist but for the love of god follow their rules to the letter.

Or take your money and spend it in societies that respect human rights.

But at the same time, currently, there is no reason to go to NK other than to just say that you have.
I’d personally never go but there are people who do war zone tourism. I could see why a person would want to experience a full on propaganda tour made by an totalitarian regime with all those cold war era propaganda art.
There’s a reason to go there other than to say you have, but it’s not worth the risk for most people IMO.

But why would you want to?
There’s hundreds of other countries to visit that don’t treat their citizens like prisoners and their visitors like hostile spies.
I don’t, but some people are weird.
mass tourism
Im afraid to know the numbers.

I 5 definitely want to go, but on a non-gov sponsored tour. My morbid curiosity needs to see what’s up behind the curtains
Watch some poor Russian dude try to escape recruitment by “escaping” to NK lol
Users of a particular sub-reddits dream has come true!
They are dumb as bricks but not enough to actually go there. They know it’s a shithole, they’re just being contrarians when praising it.
Who are the masses that go to tourist there?
I’d say Russians, but they don’t have a lot of the spare bodies and money needed to be going on vacation these days.
Who WOULDN’T want to experience the glorious worker’s paradise of Best Korea?
