Syed, I'm afraid you don't qualify for it if you are a Pakistani.

But you can't fly from Bangkok to Shanghai and then to Bangkok. You can stop over a third country before returning to Bangkok.

Even though it just stop in Bangkok for a connecting a flight, it will be regarded as entry to Thailand. So it is still not eligible for the free transit.
