On international 1-stop tickets, each airline sets its own cancellation and change fees by fare type.

Read the fare rules at booking and verify current penalties on the airline's site.
If an airline cancels a leg, you are entitled to a refund or rebook under its conditions of carriage. A single through-ticket protects your Bangkok connection; two separate tickets put that risk on you.
