August is a busy month for flights as it`s school holidays at that time.Maybe that`s why the prices are a bit high.Being a direct flight wont help either as they are the most popular ,easy to sell ,so slightly higher prices.750.00 seems quite high though .Does that include the Phuket flight in that as well?
You can try Eva Air ,maybe a bit cheaper than Thai.Also just try all the travel sites like ebookers,Kayak,Airline network etc.There`s plenty of them.Sometimes call for a quote not just search the net as they perhaps have good packages they can offer.Flight + Hotel deals can sometimes work out well,with good discounts on a flight if a hotel is booked for 3 nights or so.
For a flight to Phuket from Bangkok check .The sooner you book ,the lower the price.It should be very low if you book this far in advance.
Paying over the next few months could be difficult though as most want payment as soon as you take the flight.

I would recommend you to buy ticket from London to Bangkok with Thai airline then you should buy ticket from Bangkok to Phuket via domestic low-cost airline and that you will save extra money to travel in Thailand.
There are few low-cost airlines in Thailand:
1.
Airasia has a new promotion on their airfare, 20% discount off airfare all routes till tomorrow so you can check it and compare the price with the others. This airline only operate at Suvannaphum Airport (BKK) so if you connect flight from London – Bangkok – Phuket, you don’t need to go to another airport ( Don Muang: DMK).
2. is another low cost airline which operates both at Don Muang Airport (DMK) and suvannaphum Airport (BKK). However, flight to Phuket is only operate at Don Muang Airport (DMK) so if you need to connect flight to Phuket, it’s not convenient for you to move from one to anoter airport.
3.
also operate only Don Muang Airport (DMK)
I would recommend you to book flight from Airasia airline cause I think it would be better to wait another flight in the same airport and do not to move lunggages with you and save taxi cost too.

Once you get into bangkok, go to airasia. get from online though. do not go to a ticket girl on the street, they charge you more. it’s super cheap through airasia. less than $75 US. both ways, one person. Or you could take a night train for about $5/person.

You can definitely find something in your budget. I am going to give you the only piece of advice that was given to me for finding cheap travel deals, and it works to this day… Compare as many travel websites as you can as often as you can. Since you have a few months, start searching today and search the flights or hotels or whatever you need every week until the month before you are going. If anything is unusually cheaper, book it on that date. I would definitely recommend checking out the website BookMe. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites from one location, and save tons of money. Good luck and check out the link below, and you will be all set.
