-- 40 km from Baguio.
Bangkok (Don
Muang International):
(BKK) (Thailand) Bangkok International Airport is about 25km
north of the city and very easy to get to with public transport. The Don Muang train
station is only 500 metres from the airport and there are plenty of city buses -- among
them, Bus 13 goes to Sukhumvit Road and the Eastern Region Bus Terminal; Bus 10 to the
Southern Bus Terminal; and Bus 29 to the Railway Station. The airport itself is considered
a hub for both Thailand and South East Asia, with a regular stream of business travellers,
tourists and backpackers clutching their LP 'South East Asia on a Shoestring' guidebook. Suvarnabhumi will become
Bangkok's new international airport, in 2005.
Beijing
