Singapore's budget carrier Tiger airways has announced that it will start direct flights to the northeaster Thai town of Udon Thani.  For those non in the know, Udon Thani is just across the river from Vientiane in Laos, and flying into Udon is the cheap and easy way to get to the Laotian capital.  There's lots to see on the Thai side as well.
