there won't be any extra fees, i assume you hit some promotion that the search engines don't see or they are using some ridic exchange rate. bangkok airways includes 20kg of luggage etc to the ticket price. they even offer free food (unlike airasia which is 100% low cost airline)
i've flown them 3 times last time being a month ago connecting to my euro flight. very professional and i would rank them above airasia though for these short flights you could use any airline that flies in thailand
(not orient thai (1-2-go before) though. they crashed on phuket 2007 killing like 90 ppl, been on EU blacklist since then and they were even grounded in thailand for couple of months for security reasons 07 or 08. around that time they changed their name from 1-2-go to orient thai. since there are many airlines to choose from this is enough reason for me to never use this airline)
