Can an airplane travel in the thermosphere atmosphere to avoid bad weather?

No, for two reasons.
First, airplanes always fly around storms nowadays. The updrafts above storms are dangerously strong and will toss the plane around like a beach ball.
Second, it is not possible for an airplane to travel that high. The air is simply not dense enough to produce enough lift to stay at that altitude. Airplanes fly in the lowest layer of the skies, the troposphere. The only "airplane" you'll find in the thermosphere is the space shuttle during orbit.
