I'm actually booked on a roundtrip int'l award on UA. One stopover and two open jaws are definitely allowed on such an itinerary. But don't get me started on what routings to Asia are allowed -- we've had some discussion of that in the UA forum, where I guess that discussion belongs!
If you did make it to PVG and they denied entry, then couldn't blame
UA as its a stopover not a layover, so in that circumstance you would
probably be held liable for any fines to the carrier in addition to
a cost for return ticket to Thailand. Kinda risky.
