If anything, I would say Kuala Lumpur is the travel hub of SE Asia. Singapore is too far south, KL sees FAR more business than BKK does, and there's loads of flights in/out, plus KL is (somewhat) in the middle of everything. Plus KL is the HQ of AirAsia, which is by far the most dominant airline in the region.
Thailand can't even build an airport correctly. How are they going to be the travel hub? A few years ago, finally finished their new international airport, then just after opening it was, "Whoops, fucked that up! Ok, divert all domestic flights to that old, crappy airport, then another few hundred million and about 1.5 years, and we should have a fully operational airport!"
That type of thing is very, VERY typical of Thailand though. It's good in a way, and it leads for a much easier going, and relaxed life. Just takes a bit of getting used to though.
