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.

If it is Bangkok to London on one ticket the baggage checked in and put in the hold of the aircraft will be automatically put on the plane you take from Istanbul to London and you will pick it up at the baggage hall in London when you get off the plane. You will just have your hand luggage with you in Istanbul.
If the layover is a long one yes you can usually exit the airport and do something else. Just make sure you are back in time for the next flight.
To double check just ask the airline before gong to the airport or ask the check in staff at Bangkok when you check in.
