Arriving TG F, if your flight is on time you will be through immigration and customs in much less than an hour. As an F pax they will pick you up at the gate and drive you in an electric cart to immigration and escort you to the fast track line. Baggage usually comes out pretty quickly in my experience. Customs is just a wave through for the most part.

I also doubt it would take an hour to get money changed and the cell phone set up. Obviously you don't need to rush but these things do not take much time.

Depending on where you are headed in the city that might take a little while to get there once you get off the train. Bangkok is not an easy or great city for walking in my experience with the exception of a few neighborhoods.

I agree that knowing where you want to go ahead of time will be important.
