But the agent added that currently you need to do two PCR tests at 48 and 24 hours beforehand (before landing?) so make sure that you can do that. She also suggested calling CI in BKK or emailing them

Immigration in Tiapei will probably not stop you, I have done this many times before. But on occasion I had a bit of a hangup with the airline at the gate or lounge (SQ and CX) because the airport exit tax was not included on the ticket and they wanted that paid. When a transit passenger goes through Immigration it is somehow flagged in their system.
moondog says he's flying BKK-TPE-NRT, so this has nothing has to do with China.
