Hey Ozbargainers
I just booked a one way ticket from Sydney to Berlin very cheaply for travel in October. I'm sure there are similarly cheap flights from other cities in Australia to Bangkok. All flights are on the new Boeing 787 dreamliner (if that counts for something). The reviews for Norwegian air's 787-8 dreamliner flight, despite being a budget airline seem very good - at least they have in-flight entertainment unlike Scoot.
Sydney - Bangkok $221
Sydney - Stockholm $423
Sydney - Berlin $471
Melbourne - Bangkok $251
Melbourne - Stockholm $453
Melbourne - Berlin $501
Bangkok - Stockholm $202
Bangkok - Berlin $250
Additional cheap destinations:
Alicante, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Lulea, Malmo, Oslo, Paris

Example dates:
12th October
Sydney - Bangkok via Singapore with Scoot Airlines
17th October
Bangkok - Stockholm
OR
Bangkok - Berlin (via Stockholm) for $50 more
Hint: For the Norwegian flight, book using the Swedish or Norwegian site (I found paying in SEK the cheapest), this will save you around $20.
