Sandipan, the first and the most important detail is that you do not need any kind of visa because your itinerary will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit. Your total transit time in China is shorter than 24 hours if you have properly counted it from your scheduled arrival in Kunming until your scheduled departure from Beijing, so there is no reason to worry about. You will do the following in the exact sequence. When you perform check-in in Kolkata/Bangkok you will declare that you are flying to Russia via China (Kunming and Beijing) under 24 hour visa free transit. In that moment you will present your flight tickets to the check-in staff. After a short check, you will be allowed to board Kunming bound plane. Upon your landing in Kunming the first thing that you will do will be to fill out arrival card. You will tick the box on the arrival card where it is written - transit. After that you will perform automatic fingerprinting. With a filled out arrival card and a fingerprinting receipt you will approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and along with arrival card and fingerprinting receipt. This is all free of any charge. After a short check you will be granted a permit and then you will cross the immigration and head toward the check-in for your next flight to Beijing. Your next flight is purely domestic. When you arrive in Beijing you should not perform any formalities, but you will head to the gate to catch your flight to Vladivostok. One more detail, you are encouraged to use correct terminology because this is not a free transit visa, but visa free transit. There is no visa of any kind at all. This is it. Have a nice journey.
