BKK Fast Track immigration clearance time

Hi,

We are booked SYD-BKK-HKG on TG F/J. But we have to change our arrival date to HKG so we decide to just ditch the last leg BKK-HKG instead of rebooking (which would 1) incurs a few hundreds fee, 2) no more Fs available.) So now we would go to Pattaya directly from BKK for a few days then back to BKK to go to HKG (on another ticket naturally.)

We only have 21" carry-ons. I hope TG's First Class buggy meet up would take us to the immigration when we explain our situation, if this is possible. Not knowing how BKK is laid out, I have no idea if that can be done.

I know we would have Fast Track at BKK for immigration clearance. ETA is 16:20. How on time TG is on this SYD-BKK flight? Would it be possible to catch the bus to Pattaya departing from Level 1, Arrival, Gate 8, at 18:00 (boarding starting at 17:45)? Bell Travel seems to be a reputable company recommended on Trip Advisor but their last bus is at 18:00. I have emailed PT Service for a pick up but they have not replied my email despite folks on Trip Advisor vouched on this company.

Any suggestion is very appreciated.
