When coming to Thailand, it’s very easy to see how it’s earned the reputation of being the Land of Smiles. Other than the amazing hospitality, each part of the country you visit has a unique charm for anyone to enjoy. If you’ve always liked a bustling environment, then you’ve hit the jackpot in Bangkok.”
- Rashad M. @rashadmuha University of North Texas; Bangkok, Thailand

Seoul is a really unique place that offers a mix of traditional and modern at the same time. You can never be bored in this city because there is so much to do and see around every corner.
