\wife flying inot Bkk on 17 Aug. at 18.00 and needs to fly onot Khon Kaen either that evening or next day.

I rember reading some time ago about cheap airlines on this route but can't remember their names or find them on net.

Thai airways seem expensive.

Can anyone help with airline names for this route, please?

Thanks.

Thai the next m0rning will be her only option i am affraid

Appreciate that.

Last time I flew Thai airways from BKK to KK it cost only about 2,000 baht. Bit more now.

Looking at feasibility of taking VIP bus or Taxi but that might be exhausting.

Air Asia use to fly to Khon Kaen some time ago but pulled out. As the other poster said your only option is Thai Air

Here's a bus timetable, the 1st class has only 21 seats on the bus, fully reclining, tv screens etc. bit of a long journey but comfortable and under 500 baht

Nakhonchai Air bus has service BKK to KKC up until about midnight. It looks like they have a bus leaving at least hourly, with late evenings about every 30 minutes.

They have their own terminal, not far from Morchit. It's just over 6 hours.

If she could go to Udon...................... http://www.nokair.com/NokConnext/aspx/Welcome.aspx

As said Thai are the only airline.

Alternatives are Nakhonchai Air. The first class bus is excellent.

Train.

Fly to Udon with Air Asia or Nok Air.

Thai Air fares.

As mentioned, Thai is the only option. At least the price is now a tad more reasonable. It had risen to a minimum of B3200 one way, but has now dropped to B2230 for the cheapest one way tickets.

Wife and kids flew Thai Airways.

Bit expensive but after travelling from Ireland via London they could not go any other way.

Yeah after a long journey like that the last thing you'd want is another 5 or 6 hours on a bus!
