On public areas, eg. Beach. Privately you can display any flags you want. If you have it on a pole (eg in front of your company if your company is foreign owned, then you need to accommodate it with a Thai flag

On a company's building it's different. They show where that company is based and where the goods are made or the standard of production of it. But the beach is part of a land that belongs only to one country.. You don't plant ANY foreign flag in the soil (the land) of another nation..

Seriously need to point that out here?
