Transit and changing airlines BKK - issues?
We will be coming in on EVA and changing to Bangkok Air to get to Yangon (I know, but none of the EVA through flights worked). I allowed four hours for this (get bags, exit, reenter and check in). Can we do this without exiting? If not, what issues are we likely to encounter?

When checking in. you can ask if EVA will check your bag through to your final destination. Worst that can happen is they say no.
Thanks for your help!

According to EVA's website, PG is a BR code share partner. So I presume they should be able to interline bags.
There are transfer desks airside, so you may not need to go to the trouble of exiting and re-entering
