I was an Export man for more than 30 years for a UK company. Rule no. 1, never let your company choose your flights, times and routings for you. If you're lucky enough to have a division that do the bookings (a luxury nowadays) then nominate the flights and hotels yourself, that way you have control over your itinerary and airlines, and not some dopy girl in the office. Good luck with your travels.
How very true. always book your own flights. I got 'stuck' in Kenya once and the RAF sent me back to the UK on an Aeroflot flight (don't ask) never again. One airline that joined my banned list for life.

One of the most idiotic Country's on the Earth, Thailand is blessed with abundance of fertile soil and water but sadly the donkeys in Charge have no idea.
Next the farmers will be charging 3 times the price for fruit and veg because of water shortage...Limes are already going for 9 baht each that should be 1 baht..Laughable
Massive amounts of water are disgustingly wasted right at the hight of the Dry season ...The Country deserves all that it gets
Planning is obviously not in the Thai Dictionary

I keep reading all these negative comments and wondering why these people have chosen to come to Thailand.
I can't recall to seen an advertisement of how perfect this country is before deciding to settle in Thailand 18 years ago (at least it wasn't provided from my travel agent during that time).
My advise to you guys is, pack your stuff and go right back where you came from or simply accept the differences in culture.
Why don't they learn from other countries, you are the negative one old sport ! Its nothing to do with culture, saving water.
I totally agree with you that Thailand should learn from other countries, specially nearby countries like Singapore and Malaysia.
Both countries have done a lot for what they are today.
I didn't really thought of being negative when I started to read. I was more thinking about the farmers and in what way the water shortage will affect the people in Hua Hin.
Then I continued reading and all I saw was people complaining and how much they dislike being in Thailand.
That finally triggered my anger over these people.
My anger is not on this specific post but on general comments that are very offensive to the people of Thailand.
People who have migrated to live here, have done so for different reasons. For many of us, this is home now so jumping on your high horse shouting that "you can go home if this does not suite you!" is not helping. I think that the critizism and frustration showing in many topics regarding how this country is managed, is because we care about our home and see how bad it is taken care of by those in power. When it really could be a very pleasant place good for thais and migrants as well.

I am waiting for them to raise the White Flag,
since surrendering to reality is the first sign of recovery..
And that will never happen.

EVERY SINGLE TOPIC (no matter what it is) involving firearms/guns is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS jumped upon by anti-gun crowd who will always spout off about how guns are evil and "if it were up to them..." Ultimately what it results in is that no one can exchange any useful information about guns on this forum (such as "how do I obtain a permit" or "how do I import" ) because the thread always gets hijacked by the anti-gun lobby.
This if fact: firearm ownership is legal in Thailand. Deal with it. If private gun ownership is truly disturbing to you, then by all means move to a country which bans it. No one is stopping you. If you are in Thailand, you accept Thailand's laws. It is very presumptuous to move to another country and think that the host country should adapt to you, rather than vice versa. To illustrate the point, imagine someone from the middle east moving to England, and upon getting to England they start saying "you know in our country, women wear birkas. All women in England should have to wear birkas too." I'm sure you're not going to be too happy about that.

And that is just what some religious fundamentalists in the UK and other EU countries are saying! (It is burka)
