Nok has fewer flights per day, usually no evening/night flights. At one time they had 11 aircraft. I'm guessing they don't have many more than that now.
Air Asia has broader flight times, more aircraft, and often greater frequency in flights. I think price is the relative factor.
Nok has expanded their aircraft number and flights immensely and, as pointed out, no longer utilize those old 734s. While I can't speak for all destinations Nok has a robust schedule to many domestic airports.

Domestically speaking USM is reachable by FD and DD only through a plane/bus/ferry routing which is only rational if you have time to spend half a day traveling. There are a few international routes these days but PG still maintains high prices... at least in the sporadic searches I've done.
