Am I missing something? Why not connect BKK with destinations that have direct flights from Tokyo, especially with codeshares?
A Tokyo connection constitutes significant backtracking for all of your examples, except for maybe Seoul, but there are sufficient nonstop options on that route, as well as more logical onestops such as HKG, TPE, PVG, and CAN.
