To fly or to drive ?

I have a meeting to attend in a southern city in Thailand in the next few months ahead. I was pondering if I should fly there by using AirAsia but decide that I do not want to risk losing money. Now that Thaksin is gone, there is a chance that Thai AirAsia may lose its flight license from the next Thai government in the next few months since it is now foreign-majority owned. An alternative for me is to use One2Go. Nok Air does not fly there: too bad. Perhaps I should drive my BMW workhorse instead: it 's just one day drive anyway.
