Book a few months in advance watching out for promotions with Air Asia or Nok.
I hold two tickets return Udon-Phuket 963B two pax, 1 bag 20kgs
I hold two returns Udon-Bangkok 764B two pax, no bags
One ticket one way Udon-Bangkok next week 1750B 20kg bag, no luck, no promotion, late purchase.
Just bought one return ticket for November, Udon-Bangkok 1983B 20kgs +30kgson the return leg, one pax.
Total expense 7.187B/19#flights/pax = 378B average/flight.
No way I'll ever spend a night in a bloody shaking train again
Even at 1k/flight I'd chose the plane above the train.
Correction:
On m y return late August booked Thai because landing Swampy 07am, next Air Asia 16.15, not going to hang around half day around airport or city to save 1k baht. No problem with heavy bags also, paid 1850 on Thai.
New total expense 9037/20=452 average flight price.
