but you thoughts would be appreciated on how to set up an itinerary to clear all segments initially.
My comments...
Book/ticket early, work with UA M+/1K desk to see if Upgrades are available through, then call, call, call. Pray to appropriate dieties. Make a copy of the SWU, record all the details. In the event the down-line Upgrade does not clear, and depending on the circumstances, you may able to respectfully request a replacement. Avoid NRT-BKK. Y to C is easier than C to F.
