Thank you for your guidance! Yes its on one PNR. So even with the overnight layover I will check everything all the way to BKK? I think I might just ask to collect my baggage because sbs2716g posted the policy that clears up my concerns 
Thank you again for your help!

Anyone know why NH (P) is showing as "First" on the SQ website? Bad fareclass mapping maybe?

Thanks! Yup, I am now only short 3k miles but can get them from Amex at a cost of $25 for 1000 so will go that route. It will take a little more time to transfer them over is the only downside I can see.

the answer is on SQ webpage. Silkair is included.
https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/u...gold/benefits/
https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/u...gold/benefits/
"If you’re a PPS Club or KrisFlyer Elite Gold member, you’ll also enjoy additional checked baggage allowances on SilkAir."
However, in the OP's situation, if it's on a single booking, the Most Significant Carrier rule applies, and they will be granted additional baggage on the (less significant) Silk Air segment too.

That is valid only for Krisflyer Gold passengers. NOT for (non-SQ) Star Alliance Gold. Actual information is on https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/u...ecked-baggage/:

And the "Baggage Allowance" benefit section is just under "Star Alliance Gold Status" benefit section. Yes, it's misleading on first look, but the devil is in the details.

Thank you for your advice. I will check my bags all the way through. Quick question, if I pick up some things on my layover (I plan on picking up some items that would not be able to be carried on like lager sized cream/liquids) will I be able to check an additional bag in SIG? It will be a small carry on with a change of clothes and those extra items I pick up (I will still be under the total allotted total weight of 60kg) Like say I check in 50kg in Vietnam then I want to check in 8kg in SIN do you think this will pose a problem if I have my bags checked all the way through? I really appreciate everyones advice, you are all very helpful.

Hello again, I have another question If you have a long layover on SQ can you change the connecting flight to a later date and just pay $25 rather then the $100 layover fee? So just to give an example lets say you have a flight KUL-SIN-HKG Normally if you plan a stopover for a few days in SIN in advance SQ will charge $100.00 however I was thinking what if you flew the first leg KUL-SIN then once in SIN you called and asked to change the second leg to HKG out a week? Has anyone done this?

I am trying to book ICN-SFO in F with Krisflyer with a stopover in SIN. Saver space is available, so I know I would have to pay $100. The only routing that's available is the SIN-SFO flight that stops in HKG, which is ICN-SIN-HKG-SFO. The website engine shows 107k for an ICN-SIN-HKG-SFO one-way, and the Krisflyer chart quotes a 107K price, but when I called into book, the agent told me it would be 200K, with or without a stopover. Which price is accurate?

KF chart only apply for direct routing (ie NRT to LAX).

I see. That's so odd, though - why does the mileage calculator for KF list the ICN to SFO fare at 107,000 miles when there is no direct ICN-SFO flight on SQ?

Also, for OP, SQ just stopped flying through HKG for a while, so your routing might change
