This all makes it feasible to fly Y (if you just want a cheap flight and have lounge access as *G) or C (if you want more comfort or - in need of miles for status re-qualification). Actually the C fares are well know mileage runs.
Quite logical to price F very high on this route.
After all, you wouldn't want to lose F pax who want to book FRA-KUL in F but can't get a seat because the BKK-KUL F segment was sold on the cheap.
It's different in C and Y where you have more room to manage the availability.

With now only 8 F seats left on the 747 it's getting very tight.
