Glad it worked out for you. You had phoned the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Support Office (the office that manages DEERS). You'll notice that the letterhead on your TRICARE proof of eligibility letter is from DMDC. TRICARE has no involvement with determining one's coverage eligibility.

OP - Your Bangkok Bank (BBL) branch entered it correctly for International Direct Deposit (IDD): Your BBL account number and then BKKBTHBK. IDD does not use BBL's ACH Routing Transit Number (026008691), and IDD is not handled by the BBL NYC branch.
