You might be able to drop the HKG-BKK award segment and pay for a flight segment that suits you. If it turns out that you really do need to spend a few hours in HKG, there is a Marriott that has a free shuttle and is not too expensive. There is also a hotel right in the terminal, but in my experience it is more expensive.
