There is a NW ticket office in BKK. I've never been there, but did call it earlier this year.

I'd probably go through a travel agent. I used Charlie Connection for a Biz class ticket on KE. Everything handled by email, I picked up the tickets in Bangkok with no problems. I think this is his website:

If you can email Charlie directly, he's pretty knowledgeable about the RTW tickets. It's too bad the dollar has been heading south, as I paid under $1600 for my BKK-LAX Biz class ticket. It's probably $100 more now with the Bush Dollar effect.
