Grrr.

There are no award upgrades to C (NC or I) showing out of BKK for the 10th, but there are award upgrades available on NRT-ORD, NRT-LAX & NRT-SEA routes. Nothing on the NRT-IAD direct.

BKK-NRT is only showing 8 left in C, so you might get lucky at the airport with the upgrade dice.

I've done this run a couple of times and found it very difficult (as a 2P at the time) to score an upgrade seat out of BKK. NRT to the US gateways is easy to get the biz upgrade, but out of BKK is usually cattle class.

Good luck.
