CX runs both ways around mid-day, the middle segment of overlapping triangle routes HKG-SIN-BKK-HKG and HKG-BKK-SIN-HKG.
A couple of years ago, CX was even cheaper. You might get good deals still through travel agents in BKK.
Unfortunately, some of the carriers that kept J fares low on this route have withdrawn from service. For example, three years ago, you could get BKK-SIN-vv on Swiss for under $400. Alas, Swiss has dropped the route.
Oh yeah, that one was brilliant. I think it was 2007 or 2008 when I grabbed BKK-SIN segment one-way in LX C for about US$
300. Nice plane and great food/service on that route. I cried when it got dropped.
