At the commencement of this February, the Korea Tourism Organization inwards Thailand held a Korea tourism fair for people who beloved to go to Korea equally gratis independent travelers (FIT) called the “Love Korea, K-style Day,” at a shopping centre inwards Bangkok, Siam Square One. This expanse is quite pop alongside teenagers in addition to tourists. It's similar Myeongdong or Hongdae inwards Seoul. Thus it is the best house to demand keep events. Indeed, this was non the maiden of all Korea tourism fair for FITs since the KTO emphasized promoting FITs, along with parcel tours over the past times few years. Last year, the KTO inwards Thailand also held a FITs Fair, "Love Korea," but it was at the NANTA Theater, non a populace house similar this year. Another affair that was unlike was that in that location was a Hanbok flash mob that had nearly 100 participants.
It started with a mini speak exhibit with DJ Bookko, a famous DJ in addition to emcee who has been to Korea several times. He shared his experiences traveling around Korea past times himself, drawing laughs from the audience equally his stories were funny. He said Koreans were really prissy to him. He recommended places to see apart from Myeongdong in addition to Hongdae, which he said everyone definitely goes to, both the Haneul Sky Park in addition to Garosu-gil. To teach the best photos, he suggested going to the Haneul (Sky) Park at around vi or seven a.m., but comport inwards heed that in that location was no mini shuttle motorbus to piece of occupation to the exceed of the hill. Hence you lot demand keep to climb 291 stairs. However, it was worth it because in that location was no i in that location to block your sentiment when taking photos. About Garosu-gil, he said in that location are a lot of prissy in addition to unique cafes for relaxing in addition to resting afterward shopping around the area.
Then in that location was a Q&A session for 2 leading actresses in addition to actors from the Thai TV exhibit "Mia Luang." It volition endure aired quondam this year. This drama was filmed at several locations inwards Busan concluding autumn. Warutaya Nilakhuha said she goes to Korea many times for both trouble organisation in addition to pleasure. She tin fifty-fifty speak a few Korean sentences such as, "How much is it?" (얼마예요?), in addition to "May I delight demand keep some water?" (물 좀 주세요). She peculiarly talked nearly the Gamcheon Culture Village in addition to praised Korea’s authorities for developing this previously hapless area, to piece of occupation a pop tourist attraction with colorful houses on the mountain. The Nampo-dong shopping street, the "Myeongdong of Busan," was some other house she referred to. She loves Korean food. After finishing filming each day, she ate a lot of Korean BBQ. Korean shaved H2O ice desserts, which are currently pop inwards Thailand, are i of her favorites, too. Chanon Ukkhachata also talked nearly his maiden of all fourth dimension inwards Korea. He said he would genuinely similar to endeavor eating at a Korean street nutrient tent, equally he has seen on Korean TV, in addition to he actually did in addition to enjoyed it. He met Thai students studying inwards Busan in addition to they took him around their university, which is on the mount with amazing scenery.
The highlight of this consequence was the Hanbok flash mob. More than 100 people were wearing Hanbok, a cast of traditional Korean dress, inwards diverse colors in addition to styles. There were a few rehearsals before long earlier the consequence started. The participants remembered the choreography in addition to hence fast. They danced 3 songs, including “Ariang,” a folk vocal that doubles equally an unofficial national anthem for Korea.
Before the terminate of the fair, nosotros watched a functioning past times The Empire, a troupe that ever dances to Korean pop songs. You tin sentinel all 4 performances at the playlist above.
Beside the stage, in that location was a beautiful backdrop with Korean wallpaper for those who would similar to accept a photo. Visitors were able to endeavor on some Hanbok, equally well. I saw non-Thai couples actually interested inwards in addition to trying on Hanbok. The staff would accept a photograph with a Polaroid in addition to give you lot the painting for free! You would never regret the fourth dimension you lot pass queuing to endeavor on some Hanbok, because from what I know, there's all the same no house you lot tin article of apparel Hanbok for gratis inwards Thailand.
There are a lot of Korea booths from the Incheon tourism bureau, Korean airlines, go agencies, tour operators, Korean makeup companies, in addition to Korean cafes, to showcase in addition to give advice nearly their services in addition to products for people interested inwards visiting Korea past times themselves. Every player also got a re-create of "Korea: FIT mini Guide [Seoul – Gyeonggi-do – Incheon]," written past times a Korean go expert, a tote handbag that says “Love Korea,” in addition to other data brochures.
The consequence ended successfully. Though I didn't win whatever lucky draws sponsored past times the Korea Tourism Organization, an airline, or past times a makeup company, I was actually happy to bring together this consequence in addition to I await forrad to the next events throughout the year.
