Just to clarify, you can do this >50% cheaper routing via bkk -but still not cost worthwhile and silly way (unless you are enroute):
Regular airline sin/bkk/sin
= S$350 (not SQ, TG or CX -can even get ard300)
Domestic bkk/hdy/bkk
= S$200 (Nokair, AirAsia, 1-2-go less than bht4k)
Total cost = S$550 (say $600).
Reason for your S$1.6k is you have relied on posted (list) prices ex TG.
So unless Tiger changes mind, it's either the 14 hour bus ride or some combo Air Asia routing via Malaysia. Hdy tourist industry kena again

Our bro yingyang back from Japan oledi. I dunno why Air asia is not flying to HDY but instead to a not-so-favourite destination for MY / SG fellas, i.e. Krabi. It will be tedious for SG fellas to fly to HDY, at least KL fellas can fly to PEN or Krabi or AOR and take a shorter bus ride to HDY.
