DPS is also served by Thai from BKK so I can add it to my Star award ticket for free (and it's nice, when you're flying half-way around the world to have a single ticket, just in case something goes wrong). I've also flown there on Singapore. In my experience, it's a pretty easy award ticket to get. TG has plenty of availability, and SQ's is decent.
This is, of course, the advantage of flying to a place other people want to go to. It can be a disadvantage as well, though.
