Only Thai has direct round trip fligts to Bali. TG 432, DPS to BKK departs every day at 17:00. The return is TG 431, which unfortunately, departs early in the AM...BUT...you are back in Bali in the early PM!
Book here in Bali through a travel agent...it will be cheaper than booking direct. I go every six months, visa renewal, check ups at Bumrungrad, etc. My last trip, just this past May was US $380.00...and always by Thai. An upgrade to Business Class, and well worth it going over, is US $200.00 at the check in counter.
The Garuda flight goes via Jakarta. It takes longer...about an hour more, but it is about US $30 to $50 cheaper. Cheapest rate I was ever quoted was US $340 from Garuda, (which I've never taken), and US $360 from Thai.
Whatever you decide, enjoy your flight, and enjoy Bangkok!
