You cannot fly direct from Bangkok to Dublin unless you have your own private 747. Many airlines fly Bangkok to London (about 12 hours), then you'd need to take a domestic UK airline from London to Dublin.

Thai International - on certain days - used to do the Bangkok - Manchester run and that may be slightly easier (if they still do).
