Just to get from Singapore to Bangkok or do you want to see and experience something on the way? I have taken the bus from Singapore to KL a couple of times. It takes about 5 hours if I remember correct and it is a comfortable ride. From there I have taken the plane to Bangkok. I can't remember how much I paid for it but I thought it was not that bad at the time. In the fall of last year I flew from Krabi to Bangkok and the price for this ticket was about €70. I hope that it has been of some help to you.

There is a lot of competition on this route so sometimes it could be even cheaper. And sometimes round trip tickets are cheaper then one-way so it pays to check RT price and to buy it even if you do not intend to use return leg.. Happy journey...

It's rate is vary depending on how early you book the flight. Low cost airline. http:/www.airasia.com Reply    Reply with quote    Contact soammarat   wreckit2 Joined: Jul 04 Points: 251 Posts: 21 Posted: 2004-10-13 18:51:00    Hi, Last month I did this:- Air asia : Johore Bahru - Bkk : USD 27 http://www.airasia.com Tiger Air : Bkk - SIN : USD 29 Hope it helps.

Train or bus is your next bet. Both long but reasonably cheap. Although, I think the train could be near $20 US which is close to the air ticket price.

And yes, you can make it there for under USD 20 on third class (not including the massage you'll need to pay for upon arrival in Bangkok!) http://www.ktmb.com.my http://www.railway.co.th/eng/ Reply    Reply with quote    Contact wreckit2
