How early should I arrive at Suvarnabhumi airport for a domestic flight with Thai Vietjet Air?
I'm flying Thai Vietjet Air from Suvarnabhumi airport to Chiang Mai.
How early should I arrive at the airport?
Most domestic travel is from the other airport. Anyone have experience traveling Vietjet Air domestic flights?

Answer summary
For a domestic flight with Thai Vietjet Air from Suvarnabhumi airport, it is generally recommended to arrive at least 2 hours prior to your flight. Although check-in closes 45 minutes before departure, many travelers suggest that arriving even earlier than necessary can lead to prolonged waiting if the airport is busy. Users reported that security checks at the airport can be quite quick, sometimes taking only a few minutes. Regarding hand luggage, as long as you adhere to the weight limit of 7kg and the proper dimensions (56*36*22 cm), there should be no issues at check-in.

OPSo I arrived 3h 30min early because I wanted to explore the area and convert currency. Big mistake.
Check-in had no que. They didn’t even check bag weight, they just added all good stamp on it.
Security had no que either and was done in 3 minutes.
So 2 hours is totally fine or even less.
I’ll wait and see if visa run flight will have more strict measures. For now im wearing 3 sets of clothes to be sure of bag space 🤣
The airport is cold though...

I usually plan 1 - 1.5 hours prior to take off for domestic.Shayne **********
DMK is international also, don't be 44 minutes early, or you will be waiting for the next flight.

OPThanks for the replies. As its the "international" airport, I thought that there's more security measurements, but wasn't sure how much of that applies to domestic flights.
One more question, how strict they are about hand luggage? I only have a backpack and its quite bloated from all the stuff in it. It should be less than 7kg, I think thats the most important thing.

2 hours prior. Check in will close 45 minutes before the flight. You don’t want to cut it that fine.
