Trip Moments Recommendations
Christmas at Gwanghwamun
If you are visiting Korea in December and want to take photos with a Christmas tree, I recommend going to Cheonggyecheon Stream. Although the weather is cold and you can't soak your feet in the water, you'll get a different vibe. The area is beautifully decorated with lights, lanterns, and Christmas trees. It's a perfect spot for taking romantic check-in photos.
Chinese-style Ubosot at Wat Wisetkar
🏡Wat Wisetkar, originally named Wat Wisetawas, was built around 1850 by an official during the reign of King Rama III named Rak, who was granted the title Muen Wiset but commonly called Muen Rak. Therefore, the temple was called Wat Muen Rak. Later, King Rama IV changed the name to Wat Wisetkar.
The important and interesting features within the temple include:
🏠The Ubosot, built in Chinese art style, lacks the traditional Thai roof decorations. The gable is adorned with Sangkhalok ceramics. The walls are made of thick bricks, and the doors and windows are made of large, thick wooden planks that open and close with a latch. There are floral decorations behind the Ubosot. Inside, the principal Buddha image is in the Chiang Saen style, brought from Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm Rajwaramahaviharn.
🙏Additionally, there are Sukhothai-style lacquered and gilded Buddha images, including the Buddha descending from Tavatimsa Heaven, the Buddha in the blessing posture, the Buddha in meditation, and the Buddha in the posture of enduring suffering.
🏘The Vihara is in traditional Thai style.
🏕The sermon hall is in a hip roof style, made of wood.

This area is at an altitude of 3,490 meters above sea level. It features a lake with a wooden walkway that allows you to walk around it. In the middle of the lake, there is a tree standing peacefully. The surrounding area is beautifully adorned with mountain ranges, making it a must-visit viewpoint in Siguniangshan.

📍Address: Shuangqiaogou, Siguniangshan
Koh Kret, Nonthaburi
Koh Kret has a lot of food options. Once you cross over to Koh Kret, you won't be disappointed. It's like a century-old market near home with plenty of food, snacks, and traditional toys for sale. You must also try the royal Thai dish, Khao Chae.
To get there, you need to park your car on the mainland. There are parking services available, and then you walk to the boat to cross over to Koh Kret, which takes just a moment.
Once you arrive on Koh Kret, you can rent a bicycle to ride around. Personally, I think walking is enough.
Pura Uluwatu
Pura Uluwatu was built in the year 1000 and is one of the six sea temples on the island of Bali, where Hindus worship the gods. The Uluwatu Temple stands majestically on a cliff over 80 meters above the vast Indian Ocean, making it a beautiful viewpoint. However, on the way to the temple, be cautious of monkeys. To avoid any mishaps, it's advisable to keep your valuables safe, remove your glasses, and store your earrings. These monkeys are known to snatch valuables when you're not paying attention, and you might need to give the locals some money to get your items back, but sometimes you might not get them back at all.

If you're visiting Busan and looking for a seaside cafe, another type of cafe you should check out is one with a green garden and natural atmosphere like this. Especially during May and June when summer is just beginning, the weather is very pleasant and not too hot. This cafe has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It wasn't very crowded, probably because we went on a weekday. To get here, you might need to take a bus, but it's not too difficult.
Seventeen Street in Seongsu District
In October 2023, the band SEVENTEEN made a comeback with their album 'God of Music.' During the album promotion, the Seongsu area was transformed into a SEVENTEEN-themed zone with numerous photo spots for check-ins. Even without a reservation, visitors could enter the area with minimal waiting time. However, those with reservations could participate in additional activities such as making keychains and listening to the album before its official release. Personally, I was very impressed.

The Taj Mahal: A Must-See Marvel
The grand white mosque in Agra, India, shines brightly in the open space. It stands as a monument of unwavering love, taking 22 years to build with over 20,000 workers. Crafted meticulously with the finest materials, including marble and gemstones weighing up to 12,000 tons, it is a sight to behold. Not having it in your plan is a mistake because, besides being one of the world's man-made wonders, the Taj Mahal was also designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. From personal experience, I can say that I got goosebumps just seeing it from the entrance. It's indescribably beautiful.
The Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. I must say, you have to visit it at least once in your lifetime.
A spot I recommend is the Metub Garden, located behind the Taj Mahal. It's a chill garden where you can watch the sunset reflecting off the large marble tomb. It's absolutely stunning.

Fu Rongzhen is as beautiful as a city in a fairy tale.
𝐅𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 Fu Rongzhen
Another ancient city that received a 4A crown is no less amazing. 'Fu Rongzhen' is a village located on the banks of the Xianghe River. There is a large waterfall that cuts through the middle as the local hero. Along with Chinese-style houses around that have been renovated and well-preserved as if we had traveled back in time 2,000 years ago, which was during the Han Dynasty. These buildings are densely interspersed along the hillsides. The alleys are full of shops, accommodations, and restaurants with chic themes. At night, they turn on orange lights to cast a warm aura throughout the valley. And it will be even more amazing if you book in November when the trees will turn into vibrant colors. But if you want a fairy-tale feel, come and see it during the New Year's snow season.

ลาออกแล้วบอกว่าไปเที่ยว l QUIT then GO Take a photo and check-in at the giant dragon statue in the abandoned amusement park in Hue City.
Another popular check-in spot in Hue City is the old amusement park that has been abandoned for a long time. The dragon statue at the Thuy Tien Lake amusement park stands 20 meters tall and is about 50 meters long, surrounding a water pavilion. Tourists often stop to take photos from the floating bridge leading to the dragon statue and enjoy the view from the dragon's mouth. When we visited, many foreigners liked to climb up and take photos from the top of the dragon's head. The atmosphere is eerie and scary, so it's recommended to visit before it gets dark to get beautiful photos. Motorcycles can also drive close to the giant dragon statue.
