Yes, I'm arriving internationally later that day and we are meeting in BKK before the final flight together to CNX. I'l have to check whether the bags can be checked all the way as we are both flying different airlines into BKK before joining the Thai Air flight. My guess is we'll have to collect then recheck.
I guess if we both get the immigration done asap we can then meet airside. Are there more facilities landside or airside or does it not matter?
As your wife is on TG for LHR-BKK-CNX, she can definitely check any bags through to CNX, clear mid-field Immigration at BKK, proceed to the domestic departures area, then retrieve bags at CNX and clear Customs there. I think this might the easiest, quickest and recommended path, unless there are some other details we are missing.
There may be a good chance that you could also check bags through to CNX, but that would depend on your airline for XXX-BKK. TG does have interline agreements with many of the major carriers.
If you and your wife can get boarding cards for BKK-CNX at LHR and XXX then this saves going to the transfer counter.

There are some restaurants/shops on the 4th floor at the A/B concourse intersection available to domestic departing passengers.
Are you perhaps eligible for TG lounge entry? TG does have a lounge for domestic passengers on level 2, concourse A. You could bring your wife as a guest.
