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