I do not believe Mainland -> GUM permits TATL routings.

The proposed itinerary should book just fine though you may have to call it in if the website doesn't price it correctly.

Mainland to Guam should price at 70k in coach; US-BKK should price at 65k from what I'm seeing on the charts. It is entirely possible that the system will only charge you 65k even with the stopover in GUM as it will see BKK as the destination.
