RTW stopover question
 

As far as I know, only one stopover is allowed in any one city during a *RTW-trip.

Is the following combination allowed: ....-PEK - BKK (stopover) - HAN (overland to BKK) then BKK - SIN - ....

In short, does the overland leg from HAN to BKK count as stopover in HAN, in BKK or in both (should it count as stopover in BKK, I assume it would not be allowed, given that there have already been a stop before the flight to HAN)?

Many thanks

Not allowed. Both ends of a surface segment are counted as a stop (but together they are only one stop). So, you would have BKK twice. Workaround: if you could make the first time in BKK less than 24 hours, from scheduled arrival to scheduled departure, it would be considered a transfer and not a stop.

cheers,

If you wanted to spend more time in BKK on the second trip, a workaround would be to take a cheap flight to Chiang Mai (or Vientiane, if your mileage is very tight) and then CNX-xBKK-SIN (or VTE-xBKK-SIN). CNX adds about 200 miles to your total, VTE only about 10, though the latter might potentially involve visa costs.
