If you are looking for a trip Southeast Asia: Bankok (BKK) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), right now, there are reasonable business class fares on Turkish Airlines until September 2020 (end of schedule). I see available departure dates on Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday. The catch is that you need to get to Montreal to catch this flight.
Fare: Starting at $2200s (BKK) and $2300s (SGN)
Cabin: Business Class
Airlines: Turkish Airlines
Dates: Sunday, Tuesday (mostly), and Friday departures until September 2020.

Conclusion
The fares are not for everyone; especially, you will need to buy a positioning flight from the U.S. to Montreal. But low $2200s fares are tough to beat, considering how far the route is. Typically, you can find economy class fares for less than $1000. But if you want to splurge a bit, I think these are pretty decent fares.
If you want to take advantage of these fares, make sure to add a stopover. You can use either multi-city feature on Google Maps, of you can do it on the Turkish Airlines website directly. If you any further questions, please feel free to ask me.
The deal was available at the time of writing and may expire at any time.
