The cheapest flight I can get to Bangkok goes via Kuwait, and I can get a stopover for free - seems like Kuwait is a bit boring, but imo it would be a waste not to have a couple of days there.

Seriously - it sounds like a waste, but believe me... its not worth it if you can avoid it. If you have a layover, dont leave the airport. At least there is moderate security there.

Im not sure where you are from, but as an American, we arent looked to favorably upon in the middle east these days... and we tend to stand out in a crowd.
