Skyscanner recommends three Chuseok (Korean harvest holiday) getaway types for the short holiday: Ulsan for quiet coastal and mountain nature walks and silver pampas grass, Kaohsiung (Taiwan) for vibrant night markets, local seafood and hands-on cultural workshops, and Khao Lak (Thailand) for affordable private-beach resorts and jungle experiences. Surveyed Korean travelers increasingly prefer clean nature, seasonal local food, and authentic lifestyle experiences over landmark photo ops. Many also seek “affordable luxury”—high-end resort relaxation at reasonable cost—so travelers are willing to choose alternative destinations for better value. Skyscanner aims to help plan trips that balance peaceful nature, local experiences, and cost-effectiveness.
