By ex-BKK I guess you mean buy the RTW from an agent in BKK and buy a one-way ticket from LAX to BKK. Isn't that pretty expensive on it's own? Or am I missing something?
And how does this get me Plat on AA for the next couple of years? Is there some special deal for that?
Is there some thread or more info on the RTW you are talking about?

There's a whole forum dedicated to it (sort of) the "OneWorld" forum right here on FT.

O/w LAX-TPE (TPE is cheapest) can be had for $1200-$1400 in J on CX depending on how you buy it. The value of a RTW originating in TPE or BKK is undeniable, but depending on your travel pattern may or may not be appealing. To many, myself included, it's the best deal in air-travel, by far.
