This is weird

Udon to Chiang Mai by air is 2000 baht minimum. From Khon Kaen it is 1150 baht. KK is further away. Weird.

Airline pricing policies are one of the great unexplained  mysteries of life,  There is not a huge difference between  the  distances from Khonkaen and Udon to Chiang Mai  so the difference in price might well be related to how many people are expected to travel on those routes.      Either that or Udon is at a much lower altitude which requires the planes to fly "uphill" resulting in higher fuel costs

Many flights Melbourne Bangkok are cheaper than Melbourne Bali or say Perth Bangkok. Competition and demand I suppose.

You suppose correctly.
