Re: Interesting IDNs
Thanks Andre. Are you finding a lot of interesting Korean IDN's just because you have a particular interest in Korea? I read you are interested in Korean, Japanese and Chinese languages. Is the usage in Korea of IDN's greater than in China and Japan?

Actually, my original purpose for this thread was to gather and list and storify any interesting IDNs of any script or language. I randomly chose Korea as a starting point and I still keep finding interesting Korean IDNs so I have not yet moved to other countries/languages/scripts. Basically, the more one learns, the more one explores, the more one discovers then the more there is of interest.
I have not yet compared usage with other countries but I would currently guess that IDN usage will be much higher for China

Sapsido Island Green House Pension 삽시도 그린하우스 펜션 http://삽시도.한국
This pension is located on Sapsido island which is a small island to the west of the Korean mainland.
At the entrance to the pension there is a large rock with it's name painted on it. Naver Street View 네이버거리뷰 ➜ http://naver.me/FMAEpbQW I highly recommend taking a street view tour of this island. There is some beautiful countryside. Whilst I was touring virtually I fortuitously came across some beautiful colouful Wall Art ➜ http://naver.me/FXZMkVQR
A font they use for the website navigation menu text is Nanum Pen Script 나눔손글씨 펜 which is a handwriting style font and I think it looks good. It is available for free from Google ➜ https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nanum+Pen+Script

Yeolrigi Pension http://열리지펜션.한국
This pension has an impressive set of amenities which are shown on their impressive photos in their slideshows on their site. I wonder what the bluish sausage, on the grill in one of the photos in the slideshow, is made of ➜ http://열리지펜션.한국/sub03_3.html ?
On their location kakao map http://열리지펜션.한국/sub05.html there is a smiley map marker. It is the first time I have encountered such a custom marker or maybe it is the first time I have noticed. Anyway, I think the smiley map marker looks cool There are many cool custom map markers at https://iconarchive.com/search?q=kakao+map
Listed in their nearby tourist attractions section is Oegosan Onggi Village 외고산 옹기마을. Onggi 옹기 is a traditional Korean pottery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onggi Here is a kakao road view 카카오로드뷰 of Oegosan Onggi Village 외고산 옹기마을 http://kko.to/a8Z6T_cfB

Heung-A BKT Tyre Distributor 흥아.BKT타이어총판 http://흥아타이어총판.한국 & http://각종타이어총판.한국
Ah! This company supplies tractor tyres. Many years ago I was an Agricultural Mechanic. I have changed many tractor tyres The tyres were often more challenging to change because they were often filled with water. This is a common practice in order to increase the weight and thus improve the grip of the tyre. Here is one of their heavy duty tractor tyres http://각종타이어총판.한국/bbs/board.php?bo_table=0201&wr_id=3

Thank you
You are indeed right. Prompted by your post I searched for Thai Domains and quickly found a really good Thai coffee กาแฟ site ➜ https://กาแฟเมืองปาน.ไทย
I then decided to go on a quick street view tour in Thailand and in less than a minute I found these superbly colourful buildings ➜ https://tinyurl.com/44mdvw26

Sangnam OneRoomTel 상남원룸텔 http://상남원룸텔.한국/main
So, what is "OneRoomTel"? Firstly, it is a contraction of "OneRoom Hotel". OneRoom is a single living space which functions as living room, kitchen and bedroom. I guess the more expensive ones will also have an integrated bathroom. In Britain, a bedsit is a similar living space. I did once live, for about a year, in a bedsit.
Excellent blog article explaining Korean OneRooms at https://hanmadikorean.com/oneroom
