So if I see "5 thb each way" in a post, I'm not thinking it's nearly 4,000 thb round trip because of tax. That's the Ryan Air/Air Asia method of advertising prices that I absolutely abhor, refuse to purchase, and/or even acknowledge as legitimate pricing schemes.
Yeah, it's a bullsh*t business model, but it seems that everyone in SEA does it. Airport taxes are about $50 RT and the rest is 'Fuel Surcharges'. PG & TG do it too. TG just calls it "Surcharges".
