Lonely Planet Asia - March 2017

I denne utgaven

This issue, re-visiting some old favourites for quick getaways just a short plane or boat ride away. Join us on the beach in Bintan
and Thailand, or explore with us as we take a fresh look on Tokyo. Beyond familiar spots, we're also delving head first into the best of nature America has to offer with our Great Escape to meet bison, bears and coyotes. We know travel isn’t cheap so we’re also revealing how you can tick places off your bucket list for less. And to welcome spring, see our list of B&Bs; to check into and hot springs to soak in this issue.
