Hello, *HighFlyah*!
UA tickets out of BKK may not be the cheapest but they are fairly good, given that dates are changeable and they are upgradable with 13,000 miles one way.
Prices range roughly from 33,000 THB (West Coast) to 51,000 THB (East Coast).
I think these prices are lower than the out of HKG prices if converted into US dollars? Tickets out of Singapore are also M, I think.
AC and AA are cheaper out of Bangkok ... AA has been fiercely raising its tariff, though.... NW around the same range but requires 25,000 miles to upgrade one way. NH is lower priced than these carriers.
