Signed up for TK Miles&Smiles but should I regret this.

I signed up for the TK Miles&Smiles program about 6 months ago and just reached Elite + status. ( fly only Business Class so I collect lot of miles )
But as I’m not an Turkish resident and live in Asia I’m wondering if I will regretting signing up with TK as I also have a TG (Thai) FF card.
I had a few looks on the TK website about what I can do with my miles and came to the conclusion that outside free flights there is not much else, Because most the free goodies is only for in Turkey.
Do I something miss here ?? Can I not book for example hotel stays outside Turkey ?? ( I live in Thailand )
I thinking of claiming all my future TK flight on my TG ( Thai ) account even this can be a pain in the backside.
I tried this once and it took me 4 months to get my miles on my TG account.
Hopefully some other experiences TK flyers can give me some advise.
