This would be separate tickets
I would have a checked bag (with Sky Priority on Delta)
Is 2 hrs 25 minutes enough time to deplane, go through immigration, get my checked bag, go through customs and get checked in and go through security and get to my gate?
If it helps I wouldl be one of the first off the arriving plane and I would fly 1st class on Thai Airways so I know they will assist me however possible once I get to check-in
I am guessing you are taking the Thai departure around 5pm, so land between 2pm and 3pm.
There can be a fair bit of rush in the afternoon immigration in Narita, though this might be a bit early for it.
It is possible to make the connection, but it does not leave much room for any kind of delays. Personally I would not do it, I would want more space between the two flights.
