Cheapest Airfare to Bangkok from SFO?

I live in San Francisco. Looking for cheapest airfare to Bangkok (or Phuket). So far the cheapest is Expedia (little over $1700). I tried SideStep (too expensive), as well as China Airlines (site doens't work well).

Update:

I plan to fly from Dec 26, 2008 thru Jan 3, 2009. Cathay Pacific is giving me price of $2,800+ round trip which is one of the most expensive prices I've seen. Orbitz is $1703 to Bangkok w/mult carriers.

    Try Orbitz... The price of fuel and the airport tax at BKK are a significant part of the cost. About 30% of the ticket price is fuel surcharge and airport tax.

    I tried a couple websites, and didn't see anything significantly cheaper.

    Cheapest Airfare For Bangkok

    Try Cathay Pacific, they have fares from SFO to BKK for about $1,380 total and for a little over $1,000 after Sept.1, plus they're a great airline. You might want to call or keep trying China Airlines too, they're usually the cheapest on the SFO-BKK route. If the fares are comparable, I really recommend Cathay Pacific over China Airlines, much better in-flight entertainment and going through the Hong Kong Airport is a lot nicer than through Taipei. You don't say when you want to fly, but fares are a lot higher before and after the Olympics which start 8-8-08, if you're looking to fly during that period $1,700 isn't bad.

    Yahoo Travel shows China Airlines as your best price- $1331 r/t from SFO to BKK.

    It depends on your travel dates- I found a r/t flight on Asiana Airlines in December for just $1084!

    Eva air. i live 30 miles from sfo and i have been to Thailand 10 times ( my wife is Thai ) . she left last week and her ticket was $1,100 round trip. Eva has been the cheapest for the last 3 years for the trips we have took. sign up for their mileage plan before you buy a ticket so you get the miles.

    I heard about this website compete4yourseat.com. You enter your information and travel agents come in and provide you offers. Maybe someone has unused or leftover seats and can give you a better rate.
