Backpacking Southeast Asia is the experience of a lifetime. Most backpackers try to cram as many destinations as possible into a limited time frame. This article will provide some routes that Southeast Asian discount airliners fly, that may help you visit a few more destinations on your trip, without breaking the bank.
The two main and most popular discount airliners in the area are Air Asia and Bangkok Airways. Both Airliners offer service to most areas of Southeast Asia. One of the major transportation hubs they use in Southeast Asia is Bangkok, Thailand. The central location of Bangkok makes it a great place to branch out and cram a few more destinations into your trip.
From Bangkok, backpackers trying to cram in some beach time, Bangkok Airways offers flights to Phuket and Ko Samui. If you are looking to make a side trip up to Chiang Mai to see a bit of Northern Thailand, both Air Asia and Bangkok Airways offer discount service.
For backpackers looking to visit Siem Reap and the Temples of Angkor, it can sometimes be difficult to fit into your itinerary, given its location. Siem Reap is accessible from Bangkok, Ko Samui, and Singapore on Bangkok Airways. Siem Reap is also accessible from Kuala Lumpur on Air Asia.
For backpackers looking to travel Vietnam, but do not wish to go through Cambodia, Air Asia offers service to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.
For those travellers that want to go from Thailand straight to Singapore, without visiting Malaysia, there a few options available. Bangkok Airways offers service to Singapore from Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Siem Reap, and Ko Samui. Air Asia offers service from both Bangkok and Phuket.
