NZ and UK have also dropped, but neither of them are cheap.

Zimbabwe, Iceland?

In all seriousness we just went to Thailand at the won's weakest point and it was fine.

The won is already showing some improvement....just choose where you want to go and enjoy your vacation.

Is the currency tanking out due to a perceived higher risk of war or is it decreased Korean exports or big Korean investors selling won or all of the above?.

Korea isn't even a good bang for the buck Summer vacation as it's sorta pricey, but the warm months are the time to travel in North temperate climates; not tropical. Maybe go North of Korea into China and Russia or Mongolia?
