I'm guessing Bangkok.

RTW pricing varys wildly by start point, but you generally have to buy in the country you start from. US$2900 sounds a very good deal even if taxes + fees are extra.

As for direction I would always advise flying westbound. Longer days, fewer redeyes, more cabin service experience.
