TLDR : Answer Summary
The wait times from landing in Bangkok to getting through the PCR test and exiting the airport vary significantly. Some travelers report a quick process of around 25 to 50 minutes, while others have experienced waits ranging from 3 hours to even 24 hours, depending on various factors such as hotel arrangements and overall airport traffic.

A friend landed there 2 days ago and said it took 50 minutes to get out the airport

It took me about an hour and I did this 4 days ago. About a 40 minute wait for the van to arrive and then a quick 10 minute drive to the hospital where I took the test. I then checked into my hotel and about 7 hours later I got my negative notification and immediately left the hotel and went to my condo.

It took 30 minutes to get out of BKK. 3 hours to get out of HKT and about 20 to get out of CNX with very few pax. There was some question about my insurances

they don't do PCR test at BK Airport. It's done enroute to hotel or at hotel.

Lisa Missdoom Molyneux. I know. The OP was asking how long is the whole process. At Bangkok people have reported from three hours to 24 hours.

In Bangkok PCR test is not at the airport.

Depends on your hotel some pick you up from airport take you to medical facility do test then hotel. Some take you hotel do test there.
