time between international and domestic

[rikkky]

Hi, I have 1hour and 30 min between the arrival of my international flight and the domestic flight to Phuket. Both flights are with Thai and I was wondering if that's enogh time to make it to the domestic flight. Thanks.

It is plenty of time if your domestic flight is out of Bangkok International Airport (BKK / Suvarnabhumi)

[Dodger]

Yes should be, but as DK says check that they are both from the same airport, if not you won't make it to Don Muang in time.

Just checked, both flights are from the international airport, thank you.

You should have time for a beverage, smoke, snack or whatever ... between flights.

one and a half hours is about the ideal gap, no need to rush around like crazy and no prolonged hanging around periods

the internal transfer from international arrivals to domestic departures did seem to take longer at the new airport though as there was more security/baggage check procedure if I recall correctly

I assume your bags will be checked right through to HKT, so don’t go through customs. Stay on the arrivals level and just walk the mile or so to the domestic gates © If you have to pickup a boarding pass for your onward Thai flight you will find a transfer desk down a the end of the arrivals by pier © They will also give you a sticker for clearing customs in Phuket

I did also fly with Thai Air direct to HKT.
I had to do the customs in BKK - not in Phuket!!
It all takes about 20 minutes from gate to gate.

Nobody mentions you have to pass immigration on Suvarnabhumi if you transfer from International to Domestic now. It is not the long que like those with destination BKK, but you can easily lose 15 minutes (if there are not to many Chinese/Korean/Vietnamese) before you.
