For context, I have never taken a long-haul flight with multiple destinations. I intend to travel from Bangkok to Istanbul and then to London on a 32 hours flight.
I have 22 hours of layover in Istanbul. If I get my visa for Istanbul, book hotel for a day, can I get out of the airport? Will I have to collect my luggage again or will it be in the other aircraft? I feel so embarrassed asking this lol.

When you check in at the airport, just ask if you can check your luggage to your final destination. Since its less than a day, I’m going to assume yes, and they’ll be there at the baggage carousle for you flight in london.
For istanbul, google “turkey online visa” and just apply and pay for it online. Then you just show your confirmation with your passport to the border control agent. Near one of the exits of the airport, there is a bag storage area. Just follow the signs. You can google the prices. If they didn’t let you check your luggage through to london, you can store them there. If you’re taking a taxi to your hotel, just take it with you. Follow the taxi sign, walk out, there is a queue for the taxis. The istanbul airport is pretty simple to navigate.
