Depending on your starting point (I'm assuming CVG or thereabouts) you should also have options with:
KL via AMS
SU via SVO (from JFK, IAD and maybe LAX)
AF via CDG (they operate an A380 on some JFK-CDG departures)
This of course presumes that SkyMiles allows TATL as well as transpacific routings for USA to SE Asia. However, distance-wise, it seems to be about the same whichever way round you go (CVG-CDG-BKK is ~10,000 miles; CVG-LAX-NRT-BKK is ~10,200).
Unfortunately, I can't (yet!) comment on the relative advantages of these airlines' long-haul product in J...
