With you having to go from BKK that means you could fly BKK-HKG then HKG-DXB with EK on the same ticket and be able to catch your non stop flight in HKG (I think they connect from memory). Provided there is availability in your original fare bucket for BKK-HKG, HKG-DXB-VCE you will only have to pay the 100 euro reissue fee.
Are you certain? I once booked a J-class DXB-HKG round-trip and wanted to have a stop-over in BKK on the way back and it nearly doubled my ticket price.
