Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport in a nutshell
Thailand's largest airport was only opened in 2006 and is located 25 km east of Bangkok and is home to Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways.
Suvarnabhumi is one of the largest airports in the world and in addition to being the gateway to Thailand, it very often serves as a transfer airport further afield to Asia or Australia.
The cheapest flights to/from Bangkok around the Southeast Asia region can be purchased with VietJetAir or Air Asia, which fly from a smaller airport Don Mueang DMK.
Flights from other continents are most commonly purchased from qatarairways.com, emirates.com or sinagporeair.com.

We arrive in Bangkok with Thai Airlines and have a 1 hour 15 minute wait before flying to Krabi. The whole trip is booked with Thai. We will have luggage. Is this acceptable?
Yes, it's acceptable. 1:15 is the minimum connection time for these transfers.
Hi, check out my comment on Thai Airways regarding the change in Bangkok.
Hi again, I can see now that I arrive in Bangkok, transfer to Krabi. We have a one hour 30 min. Transfer time, but we transfer from Thai to Bangkok Airlines. Is this enough time?
Hi, yes. As long as your flights are purchased as one booking, it doesn't matter which airline you continue with.
