The fact BKK is your nominal destination is completely irrelevant.
No - you are missing the point. Once you book it as 2 separate sectors it does become a connection and needs to comply with MCT rules
If booked as a single sector then there is no issue at all
In many cases it would not be an issue since the stop will exceed the MCT requirements
