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.
