Having checked out most of the countries around Thailand, I started to explore farther destinations recently, notably the Middle East and North Africa. This holiday season I have a very strong desire to set my foot in Oceania. A friend of mine working in Papua New Guinea (PNG) invited me to see him and I made the decision quickly. The only airlines getting into the country is Air Niugini. They seem to have only one aircraft flying Asian destinations so frequency is a big issue. For me, transit in Manila is the cheapest and shortest route. Because of the frequency issue, I have 3 days to spend in the Philippines. I decided to check out Palawan, the so-called last frontier, on the way.
