Do your sums and if you can get it cheaper than the airfare put up with their hotel for the 2 or 3 days and then pick your own accommodation after that. That is also where they get you back if you stay extra nights you can pay to much. These deals are great if there are two of you eg with gf. I don’t share rooms with mates myself.
If the flight is direct Oz to Phuket you will save an airfare from Bkk and return so I suggest include these in your sums. NOK Air is the cheapest that I could find booked tonight 1,550 baht with taxes (I hope with taxes).
For cheap air fares international try http://www.zuji.com/zuji/home/0,,ZUJIAU,00.html but they do not list the cheap asian airlines, Phuket AIR, NOK air Air Asia etc, find them on Google.

Hope this is of help,
Three fargin days for me, hey hey

Steveski,

I know a few people who work in the airline industry and I am told Nok Air is not the safest way to travel. They have old unserviced aircraft. I don't want to alarm anyone as this is second hand. Make your own decisions.
