With its bold, spicy, and aromatic dishes, Thai food can vary anywhere from savory curries to refreshing salads, so there’s always something for everyone. If you heard anything about Thai food, you know that Pad Thai is a classic dish that’s loved by many. The classic stir-fried dish is easy to find in any food market or street vendor that is quickly fried in their hot woks. But what about other Thai dishes that are equally or even more delicious? Here are the top 10 foods and drinks I tried while in Thailand. First up…

Searching Railay’s Bat Cave and Secret Lagoon
As an avid traveler, I’m always looking for fun adventures and activities to experience when visiting a new place, and Krabi was no exception. I was super excited to be in Thailand and Krabi sounded like the perfect place to rest and recover yet have plenty of active things to do as well. I had researched a bit previously and had compiled a list that I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through. I used the list as a guideline to select options depending on weather and energy levels. Upon arriving at Railay, Krabi, my friend and I decided to locate Bat Cave, which we’d come across online and…

Exploring Thailand’s Ancient Cities
If you love history, visiting a museum is one thing. Exploring an old city’s architecture is another. But how about a private museum completely outside that is full of ancient building replicas? That is exactly what you can find just south of Bangkok. MuangBoran The Ancient City is known by many names, but is often used as Ancient City.

Exploring the Land of Smiles: My Trip to Thailand
Thailand is a country of diverse landscapes, from beaches to mountains, elephants, delicious food, and rich culture. It has something to offer everyone, whether you’re seeking the excitement of a busy city or the peacefulness of the countryside. As someone currently living in South Korea, Thailand was much larger in comparison with countless areas to explore, making it difficult to choose where to go as a first-time visitor. And that was the hardest part of trying to plan a trip to Thailand: deciding where to go. I was torn between going south to the beaches or heading north to the mountains, but in the end I choose the southern part…

Experiencing a Capsule Hotel
On the beachfront of Gwangalli beach is Hotel1. Inside you’ll find its hallways lined with bunks stacked on top of each other in a scene that feels like you’d find in a boat. You may be familiar with capsule hotels, but all I really knew is that they were little rooms in a hotel that afforded cheaper lodging for travelers on a budget. Capsule, or pod hotels, originated in Japan with the first one opening in 1979. They are organized in tight quarters usually the size of just a bed and closed with a curtain or door depending on the facilities. The hotel will have a shared bathroom and usually…

Top 4 Things to do in Sokcho
Tucked away in the northern part of the country lies Sokcho—a city with both mountains and beautiful ocean views (more than just the flat sea you can find in other parts of the country). Located in the Gangwan-do province, Sokcho is a destination for many from Seoul and other nearby regions when trying to escape the business of life and wanting peaceful ocean views to recharge, which is one reason why I was so excited to visit. I had been finishing a busy couple of months and was stressed and overwhelmed, and planning the trip also had its difficulties. Yet as soon as I reached the shores I felt like…

Where to Go Hiking in Korea: Seoraksan National Park
Seoraksan National Park is one of the highlights in Sokcho, and is listed on UNESCO’s world heritage sites. It’s 30 peaks, some of which are the largest in the country with the tallest being 1,708m (5,604ft) are spread across the 60 miles with views any mountain lover would enjoy. My friends and I ended up splitting a taxi to the entrance since we didn’t have a car yet and we’d missed the bus. Thanks to Kakao Taxi, we were able to easily get one back into town after it got dark since the bus didn’t come frequently at the time. We were leaving just after sunset and when we called…
