Any advice on a better loyalty program within Sky Team or One World for an airline that's going on have a good network in and out of BKK?
You can fly 1 airline and credit the ff miles to another airlines ffp. However depending on the ffp status may be harder/impossible to get status flying a partner airline.
For awards UA is still OK. USA ffp's tend to more generous than non USA airline ffp's
