Is there any direct flight to Diqing airport from Bangkok or New Delhi?
Also, how is the road and how much time does it take to drive from Diqing to Linjang?

My plan is to arrive in Bangkok and then fly to Diqing, drive to Ringha, then drive to Lijang, fly to Kun ming and then fly back to Bangkok. What do you say about that? Is it efficient or not? Should I do it vice versa in order to visit both Lijang and Ringha at Yunnan Province?
