Post BKK - 1 Hour International-Domestic Same ticket Connection

I'm planning to book a ticket from MAA to ICN via BKK on Thai airways, and I have an option of a 1 hour layover (this happens to be the cheapest ticket). MAA-BKK arrives at around 06:25 AM and BKK-ICN departs at around 07:25 AM

I was wondering if this 1 hour will be enough to make it from one gate to another. I'll be booking the entire journey on one ticket and my bags should be checked in all the way from MAA to ICN, all flights on TG only. Since I'm on transit, I believe I won't have to go through immigration and I will have only my hand luggage.

Will this 1 hour be enough for me to make the connection? I saw from the maps of Suvarnabhumi airport that the arrival & departure are on two different levels, but I don't know how far or how long a walk this will be. I don't really need to do anything in particular during the layover, except a possible toilet break/coffee if there is time.

Thanks in advance for any inputs on whether I will be able to make it in a hour's time to the next flight.

You have an Int > Int connection ... no domestic involved.
60 mins will be fine.

Assuming no delays it will be fine. There are plenty of ICN flights for rebooking in the event of problems

The two times I did this there was no line to go through the metal detector. It took longer to ride up the escalator than to go through the screening.

Thanks for the help. Very useful, especially since it seem in case of tight connections, they will send a cart.

Were you able to make it? I am considering a CNX to MLE flight via BKK on Bangkok Airways with only 1 hour between flights. This is a bit different than yours since I will be domestic to international. Thanks!

My flight is in November! I'll know only next month. However, I think a domestic to International transfer is quite risky in just 1 hour. You will have to go through immigration.

Edit: Sorry, FT noob, posted without quoting!
