Question LHR - BKK direct

I've been flying back and forth between Bangkok extremely frequently mainly using OneWorld carriers (CX and KL) and always layover in Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong but the layover adds a serious amount of time to the flight time.

I'm struggling to find any business availability with British Airways who travel directly.

I'm currently paying 70k with Asia Miles and 76k with Malaysian. However, I have a lot of points with Amex I haven't transfered yet (UK GBP card and ICC card)

Is there anything comparable with Star Alliance or another airline I could transfer to and get reasonable rates in Business or First direct from London? I would appreciate any help greatly!

Best airline direct is BR by quite a way IMO. 80k Krisflyer. Alternatively if you want to add a stop then it's 68k with SQ.

1:1 with ICC to SQ.

BA, BR and TG are the only airlines that fly direct LHR-BKK.
