While doing some research into cheap visa runs from Taiwan I found out about Tigerair Taiwan, a new low-cost carrier (LCC). Some basic info on Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigerair_Taiwan
An article introducing Tigerair Taiwan and V Air (another LCC which isn’t flying yet):

Some news about planned and proposed routes:

And here’s their web site (which you’ll need to navigate in Chinese; the English versions of the Tigerair site isn’t the same):
tigerair.com/tw/zh/
Right now they’ve got some crazy deals from what I can tell (my ability to navigate Chinese web sites is not ninja):

Case in point: Chiang Mai for under 4,000 NT… return! It’s a promo so I doubt the rate will stay that low… so act now if you could use some time out in Thailand this winter
