Hi giblet, this is exactly as per their policy. QR will interline to other OneWorld carriers as an extension and nod to the former OW policy of interlining. Some other OW carriers continue to interline.
But PG (Bangkok Air), although it is an interline partner this only comes into effect on a through journey on a single PNR, not for separate ticketed flights.
Qatar did exactly what their policy said they would do. And they are right, that if your baggage went missing or was damaged as a result of being carried on PG interlined from QR, it is QR that would be liable under the Montreal convention.
