You can tell the carrier(s) you're checking in with that you will pick up your Myanmar visa during your overnight. They will check you in as far as BKK, assuming any necessary paperwork is in order for Thailand. Most probably don't need a Thai visa.
It also gives you an out if you can't make that last segment for some reason...

So yes, that's my plan, just wanting to confirm that it is feasible.

I am on the phone with CheapO and have been informed that the reason why my tickets (RGN-SIN-PER-JNB(MI-SQ-SA)) were cancelled was because a single etkt cannot have both SQ and SA flights (it seems they have no booking agreement...). I challenged this, mentioning that they're both *A members and therefore that didn't make any sense; the guy got upset. I asked him if he could split the 3 flights into two segments and he’s trying to do it now. Any comments from the experts on this?
Thanks,

Or maybe something a little less scathing...
Are there travel agency licensing boards or travel industry associations that need to be informed of the gross negligence by these OTAs? Taking people's money, cancelling their issued tickets for no reason, and to add insult to injury, failing in several cases to refund travel agency fees... Sounds like the kind of thing the agency in California that handles travel agency registration might be interested to hear. Or the BBB.
OK, I'll stop being mean to Vayama now.

The visa issue is not major for someone doing a one-way departing RGN since these are readily available through embassies. The problem is for those with return tickets (and multiple ones) that require re-entry to Myanmar within a day or two of departure. Since one cannot have more than one visa issued at a time, the airline flying you back may not let you board their flight to an intermediate airport unless you can show them a valid Myanmar visa. As the visas are for a single entry, each time you enter the country you need a new visa. The one issued in advance will only cover one's arrival into the country to catch the first leg of these flights.
I will add your explanation to the RGN visa summary post.

Of course one e-ticket can have 2 segments on both SA and SQ. But I think he just didn't know how to explain that your ONE reservation ended being ticketed twice on both SQ and SA documents. It would have been easier that they cancel the second ticket and left the first but it looks like they just cancelled both but afterwards could not issue the ticket anymore.

Fare exists on line and on GDS. But when you try to price it - it says not possible no matter what routing , what airline, which ever transit point you choose. The fare calculation has basically been disabled from all airline GDS's.

It's actually an issue with the fare component having to be on DL. Since there is no DL code on anything out of RGN, there isn't any way to autoprice. If you command price it with a different carrier out of RGN, you'll see the autopricing error is due to flight application restrictions.
