On average it takes me about 45 minutes from touchdown to taxi (upper level, departures) at the new airport - so I think you can make it as long as your flight is not delayed. I don't know why Webner says you need a minimum of 2 hours, maybe that's been his experience? It hasn't been mine.

Be smart about it though. There are 2 immigration zones (like for baggage reclaims 1-10 and 11-20) but you can go through either so find the shortest line even if it means going to the "other" zone while all your fellow passengers go to the nearest one. Also, take a taxi that just dropped somebody off at departures, saves the waiting in the taxi line. Finally, if you fly on April 7th and arrive in BKK on Sunday April 8th, traffic should be light so that's another reason you can make it.

Cheers, Ro-baht
