Short transfer to connection at BKK advice
We arrive BKK on Malaysia Air (from KUL) at 10:15 a.m. (July 9 Business/First)
I'm going on to Yangon. There is a flight (BKK-RGN) at 11:30 on Myanmar
Air. Both airlines are in terminal 1. I've never connected through BKK with such short time. Is it worth trying?
The next flight to Yangon is not until 4 pm. We're flying in from Paris and hate to waste a day at BKK after the long flight and only one week in SE Asia.
Thanks for your thoughts.

You are exactly on the MCT here (75min) but I wouldn't risk it. While I've no experience with 8M it won't hurt to expect that a missed connection will result in the loss of your ticket.

Do you need to go through Thai Immigration to check-in for your BKK-RGN flight? If so, I would not chance it if I were you.
I arrived BKK last night at 11:25 PM on Delta. There many lines at BKK Immigration. It took me 30 minutes to get through Immigration.
