Why not buy a small suitcase and split into 32kg and 8 kg. Problem solved  and avoid outrageous overweight fine.

Presuming you're not ticketed to CMX, just book business with Bangkok Airways from BKK to CNX. 40kg included.

 

If you want to fly economy, it's 20kg, plus you get an extra 10kg for joining their frequent flyer program, that's 30kg. Then its 90baht a kilo domestic (very reasonable imo), so 900baht excess luggage. 

 

So weigh up the difference between economy and business..  Since QR is unlikely to check you through all the way to CNX with different tickets you'll need to allow time to clear immgiration, pickup luggage, check in again and head to gate.

I looked up Bangkok Airways on the net and can't find a booking class on this route with 40 kg? Is it available through agents?

 

ThaiSmile has a PLUS class with 30 kg's and overweight (if they demand) won't break the bank.

Heavy booked. Don't try last minute.

Or are you asking about assistance for transfer?

Unsure.

Ah seems your right there is no business class on Chiang Mai route. That leave 20kg economy, plus the 10kg bonus for sigining up to flyerbonus, plus 900baht for 10kg extra - if they actually bother charging. http://www.bangkokair.com/baggage-allowance

 

Will need to split across two suitcases if they enforce max 32kg per piece
