2nd, (BA) DE-LON-BKK, which is not an real option due to the high YQ and one of the most bad availability @ all in C/F, and MH does not fly anymore ex DE via KUL.
The best availability is on EY and QR via AUH and DOH and with alot of flights every day from DUS/HAM/BER/FRA and MUC to BKK and HKT.
The flights are no backtracking, and both EY and QR have published rates for the Routings.
P.S. I know, both origing ( DE ) and Destination (TH) are mainly served by *aliance. But I not choosed to " suck" with oneworld. US changed to AA and BMI DC to BA. And now people them have saved miles over many years, have to see how them can burn them. And as already said, Iam not willing to pay more than 1000 $ on fees for BA Award flights,( which is a rippoff )! With these fees some awards even not have a value @ all.
You had enquired about the EY vs. QR thing and I gave you a link to the chart of allowable, 3rd zone connections here:
