Cheap? Depends on your definition. I had heard of flights for less than USD 760.00. I finally found them. You have to book well in advance maybe 3-5 months. The flight departs in the afternoon and arrives around Midnight to 2 am in Bangkok. China Airlines now offers it for around USD 858.00 or so. Other airlines like EVA Air, Cathay Pacific or Philippine or Korean Airlines may also offer it. Thai Airways offers a direct flight and I have seen the fare for around USD 1,000 no less.
I would pick different sets of dates that you could fly and see what you can get. Being that is now almost June, try September or October or November. I just looked on China Airlines site www.china-airlines.com for the week of Thanksgiving and the lowest fare was USD 858.00 round trip. which is not bad.
Try the various search engines for travel. Kayak or Sidestep and they will give an idea what is available for the time you are looking. Truly, sometimes you find a package once in a while, not often. Orbitz and Expedia's hotel selection is not good in my mind.
I would check www.asiarooms.com for hotels. They have about the best prices for hotels and they have reviews of the hotels. I stayed at the Chaophya Park hotel which is a definite 4 star, close to a subway station for USD 45 per night with breakfast buffet. You cannot find comparable along Sukhumvit. It's near the massage places and away from the dingy Sukhumvit. It's about a 15-17 minute ride to Sukhumvit station for the BTS skytrain connection. There are 4 good restaurants to chose from. The hotel is away from it all.
See www.bangkok.com or www.thaiwebsites.com for more info on Bangkok. And for more of the male oriented things to do check www.bangkoktonight.com
Good luck and enjoy your trip.

China Air, as mentioned before, is usually the cheapest airline for LAX-BKK travel. If you go to a ticket consolidater, you can usually get a lower prce than orbitz. Nationwide Travel is one though you will have to call. Their prices are good but their website isn't. There should be some consolidaters in most large cities.
Sometimes specials come up. You can check cathay Pacific's deal of the month or thaifly's specials.

When I was trying to buy a ticket for a friend last year, the cheapest carrier I found was China Airways (Taiwan) with reasonably good connections in Taipei (CKS). Same airline,just a plane change in Taipei.
I don't agree with previous response that it's the wrong time of the year. This is the low season (rainy season) in Thailand,and flights and hotels should be at their cheapest.

I just booked with China Air a round trip from Seattle to Bangkok for $857.00 USD including all taxes. Search on www.kayak. www.Cfare and www.sidestep and you will find the least expensive seat available on your day of travel.

Step 1- Summon the magical Pegasus of your choice. Step 2- Hop on the back of the creature Step 3- And you ride! OH OH make sure that you instruct the Pegasus on directions.... In time, I estimate you should be there in 20 hours, depending on your destination. Good luck!!

China Airlines has always been best for me. Go directly to their website, www.china-air.com.
