Last time I was looking at USA-Thailand routes I found an interesting option, 28 hour layover in Tokyo (or nearby). I don't know if its available or even worthwhile with Covid restrictions.

If you're not familiar, google.com/flights allow you to look at several different options, days, layover, prices, etc.

I flew JAL from LAX to NRT then NRT to BKK a few days ago. Great service, good prices, and plenty of room to spread out. (I laid down across 4 seats and slept on both legs).
