This will be a huge chaos when you arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport during the midday or at night time. My best recommendation is you have the airlines that arrive very early in the morning, I think I say around between 5:00AM-6:00AM, I've been going to Thailand more than 10 times now and their last flight arrival is past 12:00AM.

It will only be a problem if they don't drop the SHA+ stay requirement on May 1st. I have zero sympathy for anyone caught up in this chaos. They chose to participate in the safety theater.

When I came to Thailand in November of last year at Suvarnabhumi airport it was chaos... I arrived at 11:30 PM and it took 4 hours and two pcr tests to get it right... my assigned driver went to the wrong testing station for my sha++ hotel... so the hotel sent me out to the right one at 3 AM... I was finally back to my room by 4 AM... next... I paid extra for a quick turnaround pcr test result... that didn't go well either... the promised 6 hours became twelve and then some... should I not have come to Thailand as suggested by Lawyers_Guns_and_Money?  

Don't be ridiculous...

And the fact that your experiences were different is noted... however it doesn't change what my experience was.
