I just flew the same route last month and Thai International has a direct flight from Bangkok to Denpasar(Bali). I flew business class and the ticket cost around 40,000 baht, or US $1,000 and Thai had a buy one get one free promotion which meant that it only cost 20,000 baht per person. I think economy is around 16,000 baht.

Thai Airways flies every day to Bali. When we went in 2002, we bought our BKK-DPS tickets from a Thai travel agency www.thaifly.com - they charged about $50 to DHL the tickets to us but the cost was much less than buying here in the US.

You can buy on line and get an e-ticket, save you some $ on mail.

Don't know if the policy has changed but Thai would only offer certain flights as e-tickets. BKK-DPS was not one of them. That may have changed - best to check www.thaiairways.com to see if you can book there first.

I just checked the Thai Airways web site - you still can't purchase a BKK - DPS e-ticket from outside of Thailand.

I just tried it and you're right Craig, no e-tickets for this route. I think you can still book it and click the button: "Collect your tickets at THAI city office in the country where the journey commences." and this should save you $.

You can do that but you have to pick up the tickets within three days of purchase if I have read the terms and conditions correctly.

thais one stop can be had almost in any conslidator in bangkok for around 15.000

for something cheeper you can pic royal Brunai or Garuda via singapore for about 12.500

if you really want too save noney try the budget airlines

bkk-kuala lampure (air asia) $50-70 RT and KL-bali for less then $50 RT
TOTAL $120 not including taxes
