Most nationalities will get a visa-on-arrival for Hong Kong.
You will need to apply for a China visa before you leave Bangkok, or you won't even be allowed to board the plane.

You better apply for a visa before you leave for Hong Kong.

However, according to ChinaTravelGuide.com, "China has also set up port visa institutions in some cities and regions. Port visa is designed to help foreigners who want to enter China for emergency matters but fail to apply for a visa before hand, obtain a visa in the port at where they arrive."

Check http://ChinaTravelGuide.com/ctgwiki/China_Visa for more detailed information, also the contact phone # of the Chinese embassies in Bangkok, and other locations.
