a) I have no idea about the specific question in the OP. I would imagine it also depends on, say, the use of bribes and fixers.
b) The OP fails to consider the possibility of successfully leaving the aircraft. Wherever you land will have gotten a passenger manifest, and probably be quite interested in arresting you when you land if they know anything about this. Making it onto the aircraft is not sufficient.
c) While I don't know the likelihood of getting caught, the likelihood of winding up prison if caught is probably about 100% (again, modulo bribes etc). There might be situations that are worth that risk, but … at least make sure you have your lawyer's phone number written on your arm in sharpie beforehand. You'll need it.

Hypothetically speaking, What would be the chances of being stopped if trying to board on another person's passport ( in Suwannabhumi BKK airport)? Say that the two persons look similar although not 100% alike, both from 1 st world european countries and the borrowed passport will not have been reported stolen in any way.
Considering the thai security/procedures, what would you say that the chance of making it onto the flight would be?

There is close to 100% chance of a prison stay if caught. Thai government officials do not have a sense of humour about these things and like to make examples of westerners.
