KOREA? BKK?

Saturdays are such long days that on sundays, all i want to do is to wake up late and then laze around at home all day. And today, I'm thinking of a holiday~

Should I go Korea or follow my mother on her teambuilding trip to Bangkok? Never been to bangkok, believe it or not. And only been to korea once on a tour but i can't rmb much.
Was checking the weather forecast for july for korea and bangkok and decided to compare it with Singapore's now and guess what, the highest temp for today is 34degC LOL. no wonder so hot sia. Yay and shun bian checked for june 11. There's no forecast of rain on that day so im safe for driving test :D

Okay anyway back to weather. Lemme do a comparison lol. There's no proper forecast at that site yet, but they offered historical averages.
KOREA: 2-3degC lower than Singapore in July itself, with the avg in Singapore being 31degC (which was yesterday's temp and i was complaining like mad already) i think korea is less humid too right so like wont sweat as much?
BANGKOK: 2-3degC higher lol (OK DAMN HOT)

Next up is shopping comparison LOL.
KOREA: not very cheap everywhere. Think average is about bugis street price (Which is cheap enough already la)
BANGKOK: very cheap LOL. and i keep seeing people posting their loots from bangkok which makes me tempted to go EVERY SINGLE TIME

Food comparison.
KOREA: i remember trying this deepfried hotdog thingy or isit potato thingy last time that looks like this i think and it was bad. i didn't really like it i think? wonder if it's cos im suay i got it from a lousy store or what.
but still, yes street food. Definitely safer than that of Bangkok's. And i want to try original deokbukki (however u spell it i just spelt it off my head according to how to pronounce lol) that's not expensive like in Singapore. And i want to eat nice food everywhere. The last time i went, the food wasn't suitable for me cos i still couldnt really take spicy food and it was a tour so i don't think there was a lot of authentic and nice korean food either.
And those quaint cafes!

BANGKOK: lol cheap but safe? COCONUT ICECREAM at chatuchak omg. and apparently there's nice wanton mee somewhere. and CHEAP SEAFOOD OMG. AND CREPES. ok i dunno what else. tom yam goong? (HAHAHAH THIS REMINDED ME OF PLAYFUL KISS. this girl was asking her father if they had a multicultural background, like did her mother speak thai or something? then they played this imaginary scene of her mother saying "tom yam goong?" lol ok not funny nvm)

ok so there's weather, food and shopping.
hmm what else

okay safety considerations next.
KOREA: should be safer than bkk also bah
BANGKOK: heard about pickpockets/robbery happening.

and both also have language barriers.
but i know more korean than thai LOL. effectively, i only know stuff like sawadeeka and some names of food.

HAHAHAH IT SEEMS LIKE KOREA > BKK.
