9am should have quite a few flights. by the time you clear immigration. purchase sim card and travel to hotel and get your room. i'm looking at if immigration long queue by then 11am can prepare to go lunch already haha.

i once landed about 9+am by the time i get out take taxi and reach intercon to check in already almost 12noon.

immigration would take u at least 35min at least
cox of the super long queue
if u checked in luggage, would take even longer

if u cab to hotel, should be about 35 min...
if really bad jam, perhaps close to an hour

you might reach hotel around 11am local time ...
by that time, you might wanna try if the hotel allows u to check in
some hotel r nice, they would allow you to check in
else, you can shop around the mall, if your hotel is near a shopping mall

If you have elderly or young kids, you can cut queue and go to the extreme rite
there r about 3 to 5 queues there :)
not much people...

went there before for my last trip
cox bringing kids along :)
within 10 to 15 min, clear custom already

cox tat time normal queue was super long
the queue was beyond the slope area there where you need to walk by to get into the immigration ...

probably will be just me alone who's going :(

in this case, if I were to go there and back ard 10pm to midnight timing, will grabtaxi be a better option for me to travel around?

your hotel is near chitlom bts. it's actually a good 8 - 10mins walk to your hotel. but if your alone and not lazy you can walk. there is a starbucks and 7-11 you will passby going to your hotel can drop by to grab a drink etc.

if your lazy then taxi
