Question BKK-KUL
I have booked a business class ticket on the Malaysian airlines web site from Bangkok to Bali in September. The first leg is on a Thai airways flight (BKK-KUL). Do I collect British airline miles on this one and do I check inn at the Malaysia desk or the TG desk?

You may earn into BA if you're booked into an eligible fare class on MH.
Best to check the BA website for Avios earn. In any case, on a Oneworld Flight# you'll receive your BA Gold benefits (lounge, priority boarding etc..)
Check in at the desk of the airline operating the first sector.

You won't earn BA miles for the TG segment. As your first flight is on TG, you'll have to go to their check-in desks at BKK.

Was the connection using an MH flight not possible?

This is what I found on the BA forum:
- oneworld partner prefix, non-oneworld operated flight
For example, an AA flight number on HA. You earn nothing. The rule is that both the flight number and the operating carrier have to be in oneworld to earn. Some have successfully had Avios and Tier Points awarded in this instance but that is the exception and very much not the rule.
