The reason I am nervous about about it because I have another flight to HKT where there's no interline agreement with the other airline.
You should be able to short check your bag, but I don't see why a long layover should make your luggage be lost. It's quite the opposite - bags risk being delayed on short connections, long connections are absolutely okay and improve chances of your bag making it.
