The days of sub £1000 to the likes of Bangkok, Australia & NZ on Qatar are gone for now unless there's someone with fat fingers putting in the pricing.
I'm trying to have a go at November - Jan/Feb, Europe to Bangkok (or nearby) & back.
Seeing possibilities on RJ as per the other BKK thread for 1250ish - 1500ish. Would prefer Qatar for a number of reasons. Now if I could get a near 24hr stopover (or more without price readjustment) in Jordan in each direction included in the 1500 that would sway me, but would prefer Qatar if money is equal.
Will explore further. Please keep us updates of any interesting finds :-)

Indeed. I remember QR flights to HKT for sub £800….
For an easy life and wary of covid restrictions last August I flew LHR-DOH-HKT for £2800. Not an outstanding fare, but far better than now when everything starts with a £4*** from LHR

The SQ BKK - LHR J OW fare is good at just over £1200 but getting out is a bit of a pig on anything decent, don't fancy RJ at all, would rather go BR or TG in Y from LHR

Funnily enough I'm looking at the same thing for April, I'm not bothered about miles or TP's just comfort, I like BR from VIE to BKK in J and back BKK to LHR is currently £1400 which for a direct flight in both directions is quite appealing especially as the BKK to London is a day flight, the QR from OSL doesn't really tick the boxes as I'm travelling with my family and can't have kids sat alone as you would in the configuration on the DOH - BKK flights.

I have access to Amadeus so I look myself but if you want the BR fares it's VIE to BKK in D class, back to LHR in V. Check matrix to see when those classes are available and book directly in the BR website.
As for the SQ fare it's just D class which you can get most days as they fly so often, just onto the SQ website and it books in Thai bhat but it's very cheap

If I was travelling solo I wouldn't mind but with kids taking the short hop in a non J product, terrible flight times for kids, average lounge in AMM and then the longhaul J again I don't really rate but would agree on the cheese trolley
