I think a non-stop can certainly happen. If you look at carriers such a Turkish and Finnair, they both started out with stops in BKK. Now, both carriers operate a non-stop to HKG.

Good news for RJ and the Kingdom of Jordan.
I'm looking at RJ to BKK and it says it is on A320's and A310's? What are the business class seats like? If like a Euro configuration I don't think I could take that for 9 hours.

Press release about the BKK/HKG flight says it'll be using "newly refurbished" A310s. Not sure if it means those a/c are getting the BC seats found in the A340s.
BC seats on the 320-series a/c is real BC. Not quite int'l BC standards (well, maybe of 20 years ago) but much better than U.S. domestic FC. Didn't sit in one but I passed them on my way to the back (for LCA-AMM and AMM-CAI flights). There are a few TRs floating around.

I am looking at traveling ORD/AMM/BKK in april and at that time, the equipment changes to a A340, the same aircraft that operates TA
So check your dates- If A340, then especially in J, it will be quite nice,
yes early dates are on narrow body

Last July when I flew BKK-AMM in RJ C it was the worst business class seat and experience I have ever had on a "long haul" route. The seat was ancient and the whole business class smelled of urine because there was some problem with the lavatories.
