Overview
They truly don't come any
bigger than the Big Apple - king of the hill, the city that never
sleeps, New York, New York. Of course the city has got its fair share of
the poor, the disadvantaged and the huddled masses, but it is also home
to world-class museums, a thriving art scene, avant-garde architecture,
outrageous excess, and a whole lot of craziness! If you can't find it in
New York, it probably doesn't exist. It's hard to put
a finger on a single thing that makes the place buzz but the city's
hyperactive rush keeps attracting more and more people to it. New York
is half way round the world from Bangkok. But the Big Apple and the Big
Mango aren't so different after all...
How to Get There
Myanmar Thai Airways used
to fly nonstop between Bangkok and New York City. Nowadays the best
options are with

Korean Air via Seoul or
Cathay Pacific
via Hong Kong. Also
Delta Air Lines and
United Airlines offer good connecting
flights between Bangkok and the Big Apple.
