Just booked a return flight for 1400 baht, not sure how long the promo will last.

Forget the bus. There are tons of cheap flights.

BRMC , thank you for posting Lion Air details. Im over in April (going to HH (Hua Hin) first) and hadnt considered Lion Air as they fly out of DMK (DON MUANG ) - so now i need to get from HH to DMK to fly (MON APRIL 14 at 15:40) to CNX (CHIANG MAI) , then in May get from DMK to BKK (SUVARNABHUMI) to fly (WED MAY 07 at 23:25) to England (BHX)!. I will be able to wing it , but does anyone know if there is a direct bus from HH to DMK around lunch-time APRIL 14, AND if there is a direct bus from DMK to BKK airport in the evening of MAY 07 ?. Thanks to any-one who may be able to help , and all on TV.
