This is the UA example, which can be done for a total of 60K miles:
  1. ORD - LHR, 30K miles
  2. LHR - CDG, 0 miles
  3. CDG - ORD, 30K miles

UA considers Laos to be in South Asia, which includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. So the OP can’t do ORD-TPE, TPE-BKK-VTE, VTE-BKK-NRT-ORD, unless he/she is willing to do them as 3 individual 1-way awards.
I was mistakenly thinking that Taiwan was in South Asia also. (Didn't it used to be?)
