Low-budget travel to various exciting destinations in Asia is your solution. Following the launch of new routes (Bangkok- South Korea), it is my pleasure to recommend that you should visit South Korea.   

South Korea, “Land of the Morning Calm” 

An emperor of the Ming dynasty of China, the Celestial Empire of the East gave Korea the title of Choson (조선, 朝鮮), meaning the ‘morning freshness’. The title was given because of its natural beauty of mountain and crystal-clear water, and its tranquility, especially in the morning, which resulted in the nickname of South Korea as the 'Land of Morning Calm'. Later, the name was changed to Daehan Minguk (대한민국, 大韓民國), Republic of Korea in English.    

Seoul Namdaemun

Seoul is the capital of South Korea, is nominated as the world’s greatest city because of several reasons. The kindheartedness of Seoul people, the efficient transportation system, scrumptious dishes, mesmerizing cultural heritage, exotic nightlife and local attractions make Seoul a sight to behold. Undoubtedly, there are so many things you can do in Seoul. To study the history of South Korea, people usually visit historical sites such as Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces. Also, shopaholic will definitely get crazy in Myeongdong and Asia's largest underground shopping center, COEX Mall because they can shop everything from head to toe, including clothing and accessories. For sightseeing, Namsan Tower and is the ideal destination that you can see the whole city on the top. Hangang River is always crowded with people because of its distinctive landscape that offers a perfect place to rest. By the night comes, the Hongik areas will be flashed up with light and music, turning them into dance floors. This shows the Korea’s vibrant and energetic nightlife.         

Seoul seems cool, right? Remember that you can also take a direct flight from Seoul to Bangkok. For travelers who plan to take a visit in Bangkok, below are some Bangkok’s characteristics that make Bangkok so special to visit ! 

Bangkok, “The city of Angel” 

Bangkok or "Krungthep" [กรุงเทพมหานคร] in Thai, is the capital of Thailand, is one of the world's top tourist destination cities with splendid temples and palaces, extensive canals, marvelous shopping, and a lively nightlife. The people, traditions, sights, and the beauty of the Bangkok city are irresistible. Immerse yourself in the beauty of temples such as the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho), and also the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew).

Bangkok Monument

To experience the most impressive architecture, you should not miss The Grand Palace, a former Residence of the Thai Royals. Besides, for those who are interested in the history of Thai silk can visit Jim Thomson's House, which assembled from a few traditional Thai-style houses that containing a voluminous collection of Southern Asia arts. Take a vessel to see the locals selling off their product at the Damnoen Saduak floating market is an unforgettable experience. After a tiring day, you can take a look on Thai dance such as Khon at Sala Chalermkrung or else, try a Thai massage to relieve the tension of your muscle.   

You shouldn’t miss these spectacular cities if you travel with Thai AirAsia X. You will never regret if traveling with AirAsia, the world’s best low-cost airline.
