Connecting on Separate Ticket with No Checked In Luggage

Connecting on Separate Ticket with No Checked In Luggage - Positive woman with passport using laptop on luggage in airport

I have a flight arriving at BKK at 9.25. I then have a flight from BKK to RGN at 13.40.

The flights are booked through separate airlines. I do not have any check in luggage.

When I arrive at BKK do I simply walk into the connecting flight area or do I need to clear immigration (which I would prefer not to have to do)?

The thing I'm wondering is how I can get my boarding pass for the flight to RGN in the connections area without having to clear immigration and come back in.

Do I have to claim my luggage if I have a connecting flight?

When you purchase a layover flight, you will need to claim your bags when you land at your layover destination, and recheck them the next day when you continue your flight(s).

Do I have to recheck bags on a connecting flight with different airlines?

If it's headed to the layover country, you'll need to recheck your bags there. If it's headed to the final destination, you won't need to recheck your bags. This is the most accurate way of knowing whether you'll need to recheck your bags or not.
