Interesting, but Thai Airways is not part of the One World group.

Just as an added reference point a similar article from the Tribune media group ran in the San Francisco Chronicle this past Thursday. It's out of my league at this point, but who knows?

Although Thai isn't a part of One World it is a part of Star Alliance - this article is in USD:

"Star Alliance, the largest, includes Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana, Austrian, BMI, Egyptair, LOT, Lufthansa, SAS, Shanghai, Singapore, South African, Spanair, Swiss, TAP, Thai, Turkish, United and US Airways; Continental is planning to join. RTW pricing is based on total mileage; rates for 29,000 miles total miles of travel are $4,069 in economy and $7,880 in business; rates for 34,000 and 39,000 miles are comparable. You're allowed three to 15 stopovers within 10 days to a year. Some backtracking is OK within the mileage limit, but with restrictions."
