Using this as a guide, CX252 (7am) and CX250 (1pm) would arrive during peak times, CX254 and CX256 less so. But I am not sure whether there are any BKK connections from 254 and 256. If there are, that would be a good choice. If not, 70 mins is pushing it during peak hours, and sometimes the officers in transit security are less than pleased when you ask them to cut the line.
If the flight is arriving late, OP can inform CX crew of the transit. They may be able to arrange for an early disembarkment. Also, in the event of a tight connection to another CX/KA flight, there are CX ground staff greeting and helping passengers at the gate. If not sure what to do, OP can simply approach CX staff at the gate for help.
