You are living more than 18 months in the past.
Since the big rule changes of April 15
2005 stop overs are strictly limited to 3 per country except US (5), independent of where you buy/start.
If you speak about Europe, there is still a difference though. Starting in Europe the limit is 5, while there is no limit for outside of Europe including BKK.
