After spending some time in Macau and Hong Kong I got on my Thai Airways flight to Seoul, South Korea on June 23. In Seoul I met up with my friend Stacey who I met in Cairns last year. After spending almost a week in Seoul I went on a trip around the country with my friend Una.
Here are the three blog entries for the road trip around the country, we didn't plan anything about the trip, so basically we decided day by day where to go.

Korea part 3
Korea is really different to all the other Asian countries I've been to, luckily I had 16 days to spend there, which was enough to explore Seoul, and also go for a trip around the country for seven days. The food in Korea is as amazing as everyone says, it's really unbelievable how many nice dishes they have. Being used to Thai food I didn't find the food very spicy, but just really amazing.
I also had the chance to sample food at family homes, and stay at real Korean homes, the food in their homes is as amazing as everywhere else, sometimes even better.
Transport in Korea is easy, on this trip we mostly went by bus, because they have frequent departures compared to the train. The good thing is that if you're in a place connected with the KTX high speed train, you'll never be further than 2,5 hours away from Seoul.
Korea has so much to offer, but for some mountain regions you really need a car to explore everything properly.
Thanks so much Korea for treating me this well! Korean people are as friendly as the food is amazing, so if you get the chance to go to Korea, do it! :)
감사합니다
