KMG-CNX-BKK Can I go through immigration and custom in CNX?
It's a direct flight from Kunming to Bangkok with one immediate stop in Chiang Mai. I have only a carry on bag and think it's better if I can check my passport and custom in Chiang Mai. So I would be able to go home quickly when arriving in Bangkok.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Going through immigration will be no problem though.
You might want to try and get the 2 boarding passes in Kumming but I doubt they would do it.
Good luck

Does that mean this flight is never parked at the gate?
Do they separate international and domestic passengers on the aircraft? If not, I think it's easy to bring something from Kunming into Thailand without passing through the custom people.

The domestic flights are usually parked at the domestic gates. Connecting passengers from international terminal, however, will be paged to a bus gate in the international terminal and bussed to the domestic terminal.
TG will give you the "CIQ" sticker for you to put on your shirt to identify that you have not been cleared. That's it. In theory, you may be able to slip through customs in Chiang Mai but you'll get in trouble when trying to leave the country because the lack of inbound stamp in your passport.
