I would be very, very careful booking on the TG flight. Here are the details on a random EWR-BKK flight I looked up on ITA:
Newark, NJ to Bangkok, Thailand: 9599 miles 23 hrs 15 min
Continental Airlines Flight CO 9 on a Boeing 777 (jet) in coach class
(lunch, movie)
Departs Newark, NJ (EWR) Sun, Mar 28 11:10a 13 hrs 45 min
Arrives Tokyo, Japan (NRT) Mon, Mar 29 1:55p
1 adult in booking code E, covered by fare (A1) below
Layover in Tokyo 3 hrs 0 min
Thai Airways Flight TG677 on a Boeing 747 (jet) in coach class
(meal, movie)
Departs Tokyo, Japan (NRT) Mon, Mar 29 4:55p 6 hrs 30 min
Arrives Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) 9:25p
1 adult in booking code V, covered by fare (B1) below
Bangkok, Thailand to Newark, NJ: 9599 miles 19 hrs 55 min
Thai Airways Flight TG676 on a Boeing 747 (jet) in coach class
(meal, movie)
Departs Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) Sun, Apr 4 7:35a 6 hrs 10 min
Arrives Tokyo, Japan (NRT) 3:45p
1 adult in booking code V, covered by fare (B2) below
Layover in Tokyo 50 min
Continental Airlines Flight CO 8 on a Boeing 777 (jet) in coach class
(lunch, movie)
Departs Tokyo, Japan (NRT) Sun, Apr 4 4:35p 12 hrs 55 min
Arrives Newark, NJ (EWR) 4:30p
Total for 1 adult passenger: $1359.60
I wouldn't count on earning anything for the NRT-BKK legs on such a ticket, even if the TG flights are booked as a codeshare.
