Time For International To Domestic Conenction?

[corkman]

Hello good people.....

Its been a while since I ventured South - haven't done it since Suvarnabhumi opened!

I am arriving into Suvarnabhumi at 15.40 on BA flight BA009, and plan on transferring directly to Ko Samui with Bangkok Air. What time connecting flgiht should I get? i.e. how long should I allow to go through immigration and security etc. to make the next flgiht. I do nopt hold a consolidated ticket so I'll probably have to re-check in my luggage.

Many thanks for your help!

Most airlines, including PG themselves, recommend three hours minimum for this type of connection.

Thanks a mil! I've been throguh Suvarnabhumi before, and BA tend to land a couple of minutes before the other airlines.... so I tend to hurry along corridors quickly to beat the huge que's..... so if I go for teh 7pm flight to Samui it should be about right! Plus I'll have my English-Thai dictionary with me (Thai Wife ) so that should hopefulyl speed things along!

Thanks again!

15:40 - 19:00 should be fine even with arrival delays of 30+ minutes due to only having a single runway, lengthy immigration queues (60+ minutes) and variable baggage wait-times.
