tight (?) connection at BKK
I have these separately booked flights on this coming Sunday:
USM-BKK PG170 dep 6:20p arr 7:25p
BKK-KUL AK751 dep 8:20p arr 11:25p
I do have checked luggage that I will have to re-check. On my side is that Air Asia has online check-in so I can hopefully already have my boarding pass.
Can I make this? Will it be close, or am I easily safe?
[Edit: Okay, so I won't make it. How about the 7:05? Still too tight?]

Thanks guys; I will try tomorrow to re-book the USM-BKK leg for earlier in the day.
Okay, so there's a 7:05 PM arrival? Still too tight? The one before is 2:20 PM... :S

IIRC Thailand also has an exit tax that you have to pay at the airport. Not sure you'll be able to pay it before your domestic leg, so leave time for that as well. I would give yourself more time and take the earlier (2pm) flight.

It's no longer the case, BKK airport taxes are now included in the price of your airticket.
