Cents-per-mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.
Bangkok, Thailand.

A short-haul KrisFlyer redemption many Singaporeans use as a weekend break. Saver economy at 13,000 miles makes it one of the lowest-cost ways to put miles to use.
Cash fares to Bangkok are already low, so redemption value per mile is modest in economy. Many travellers choose to save miles for longer-haul cabins and pay cash for Bangkok — but the route remains popular for last-minute bookings when cash fares spike.

Small things travellers like to know about Bangkok.
- Get a Rabbit Card for the BTS skytrain on arrival — single-trip tickets queues are long at major stations.
- Grab and Bolt are widely used; metered taxis are cheaper but drivers may refuse short trips during peak hours.
- Tourist SIM cards from AIS or TrueMove H are sold in the arrivals hall at BKK and DMK and are typically cheaper than activating roaming.
- Ask for "mai phet" (not spicy) at street stalls if heat tolerance is a concern — Thai default is hotter than most Singaporean palates.
