Get a Chase Visa card with the 50,000 sign up bonus miles. Then fly that airline to Thailand. At that point you will have over 70,000 miles; and your next ticket to Thailand will be FREE.

FREE*

*Plus CC annual fees, taxes on award seat, subject to award availability and contingent on use before the miles expire.

I'm a big fan of the programs but for the occasional customer - and I believe the OP qualifies - shopping based on price alone is nearly always the better value. There are only so many CC promos and other "free" sources of miles out there and they don't last forever.
