One thing I was told when visiting Bangkok - shave with bottled water. Yes, rinse the razor with bottled water. Brush your teeth with bottled water. And when you shower, do not splash water in your eyes.
You should pack Immodium caplets as well anything you'll need for the duration of your stay. Assume that your normal toiletry brands will not be available.
Definitely have someone meet you at the airport (from the office, a car service or from your hotel); after eighteen hours in transit and numerous time zones, you'll be nearly incoherent stumbling off of the plane. And if you have the opportunity, consider flying Virgin Atlantic; their business class (Upper Class) rivals most airlines' first class and their full fare economy is as good as many business class flights.
