Overview
Korea is famous for its TV
series, boy bands and Samsung. But there is a lot more to explore in
Korea than just this. Seoul is the capital city and is a great
destination if you want to spend 4-5 days in an Asian city. There is
great shopping, lots of tasty food and several charming temples right
inside the city center. Public transport is very efficient so it's easy
to get around the city. The nightlife is very happening and does not end
until the early morning. So get some sleep before you head to Seoul.
How to Get There
Seoul is served nonstop
from Bangkok by Thai
Airways,
Asiana Airlines and
Korean Air. Air Vladivostok sometimes
also offers flights on this route.
Cathay Pacific and
China Eastern
often have promotional airfares on this routes via their hubs in
Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively.
