THANKS!!
26K Miles package should NOT have Business Class option from what I know (unless they have changed the rules recently). So it is possible they quoted you under 29K miles package rate since that is the lowest miles package which allows Business Class option. Or North American might have different rules on this 26K package.

Originating Trips from BANGKOK, 29K Package Business Class option only costs 4500 USD equivalent (before tax). Isn't that great?

Your 9966 USD (probably already included tax) is still a little too crazy but they may have increased fares from US originating trips. If I were you, I could have saved 3-4K by just spend 1000 USD flying economy to BKK and originating trips from there....
