35 minutes is below the 75-minute international MCT at Bangkok International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. An automated people mover (APM) links the main terminal to the satellite Concourse G in about 5 minutes, but with walking to and from platforms, total transit between far ends of the airport can take up to 25 minutes. International transit passengers staying airside pass through a transfer security checkpoint but not immigration; domestic connections require full immigration clearance, bag recheck, and a separate security screening.
