Internal flights, flying from the new airport, I checked in at BKK straifght away for a flight to phuket (No waiting time)
if your booking it all in advance, my advice would be to get a flight departing 3-4 hours after your landing time. That allows you 1 hour customs and allows you about an hour to check in again.

I had the same experience. One time it took me about 15 minutes and the 2nd time it was about 30 minutes. Both the time from walking off the plane until I was walking into the arrival hall. Also both flight arrived with the China Airlines flights from Amsterdam around 6.40 am.
But in general I would use 3 hours changing time, as you never know if you arrive just after a plain full of people from India or the Middle East. Moreover, you can always check with the next airline to see if you can go on an earlier flight, if available.
