I can understand if PG refuses to tag bags to final destination when on separate tickets and you check-in with PG (I believe this has actually been reported many times) but TG are normally very generous when checking bags on separate tickets and will have no issue to tag you bags on to other carriers or even OAL (it has also been reported many times in this forum) - and if TG tags a bag all the way to e.g. DAD with PG, I fail to see what PG can do about it.
1) a Thai Airways agent will only do it if he is allowed to do so - and in the past he wasn't allowed to do it..
2) the minimum connecting time at Bangkok Airport between flights of Thai AIrways and Bangkok Airways has always been 75 Min at least - so this itinerary officially "fails", even though the customer could theoretically "make it" by using Bangkok Airways online check-in facilities (while still in Japan) and after arrival in Bangkok rush to Bangkok Airways departure gate without having to present himself at immigrations.
But definitely no way for "checked baggage"
