In short, does the overland leg from HAN to BKK count as stopover in HAN, in BKK or in both (should it count as stopover in BKK, I assume it would not be allowed, given that there have already been a stop before the flight to HAN)?

Not allowed. Both ends of a surface segment are counted as a stop (but together they are only one stop). So, you would have BKK twice. Workaround: if you could make the first time in BKK less than 24 hours, from scheduled arrival to scheduled departure, it would be considered a transfer and not a stop.

cheers,
