Kuwait 22,500
Malaysian 26,500
Qatar 27,500
Royal Jordanian 27,500
Sri Lankan 23,000
Turkish airlines 24,500
However - it states quite clearly at the top "Fares do NOT include tax, insurance, fuel surcharges and security"

Once you add on the "extras" and then do the calculations with the (decreasing) exchange rate, it turns out not be so cheap. Plus, you have to state which dates etc and you can almost guarantee that the dates required are not the cheapest.

Remember - it only needs 1 seat on 1 date to be available at 22,500baht for them to be able to advertise it.
