2024 Best of Pyeongtaek Poll Winners: Your Guide to the Best Eats, Drinks & Hangouts!

Celebrating Community Favorites: 2024 Best of Pyeongtaek Poll Winners

In 2016, South of Seoul began hosting the Annual Best of Pyeongtaek Poll. This event was created to celebrate the city of Pyeongtaek’s delicious restaurants, helpful services, and fun activities. In addition, the poll gives residents an opportunity to support the people and places that make Pyeongtaek special for them.

While the poll is not an official research study, it is a fun way to show what the community loves while helping both newcomers and longtime residents find the best spots in Pyeongtaek. In addition, this poll is open for public voting and goes beyond the South of Seoul network to provide genuine feedback from English-speaking international residents.

Businesses are only listed in a total of three categories to provide diverse results and keep from having any one specific location from winning all the awards. In addition, community members are allowed to cast votes daily during a two-week period to encourage participation and recognition. Businesses receive certificates to proudly display at their locations, recognizing their achievement.

South of Seoul: Building Community and Information for Expat Life in Korea

Founded in 2015, South of Seoul (SOS) is a volunteer-led organization committed to helping expats settle into life outside of Seoul. Through Facebook groups, a blog, and a smartphone app, SOS connects international residents with essential services, cultural experiences, and local businesses. Furthermore, their Public Health Program delivers essential information to assist individuals in navigating Korea's healthcare system. With resources like the 'Best of Pyeongtaek Poll Winners' list, South of Seoul supports expats in smoothly adjusting to and enjoying the distinctive mix of city and rural life outside of Seoul.
