It used to be much better when we were all younger but it still has a big advantage. Fare rules ex BKK are very relaxed (rebooking after the first international leg allowed) and plenty of stops in Germany allowed. But I agree: CPH is nowadays a good alternative and the fare difference in RTW3 is still quite substantial.
