Redeeming on Cathay - Newbie Help with Honeymoon Travel to Asia

Hey everyone,
Wanted to know if I can tap into the network to see if I can see if what I'm looking for is even feasible with miles and using Cathay.

I'm planning to go on my honeymoon in April/May for about 2-3 weeks and looking to do a trip from LAX to Thailand (Bangkok - just to see and Phuket to relax), do a few days in Hong Kong and then off to Seoul (the motherland) before jetting back to the US.

I have 200K BA miles after the latest Amex bonus promotion, but I also have 400K AA miles and looking to see if its even possible to book a business class fare to most if not all the destinations on the itinerary. I know that we'd have to fly through HK for most of the trips which I think its fine, but I'm not sure if its all something I can do on one award itinerary, or something I can do by just getting award travel for parts of it.

Any thoughts of how I could pull this off?

Or is it too unrealistic? Do I have to go coach? Is that even an option?

I'd love to hear any feedback to see if this is a pipe dream!

Much thanks!

Mike
