I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that all discounted tickets have restrictions.

All tickets I've ever bought from any agency or web portal other than from the airline directly have had some sort of restriction applied. It could have been anything from something minor like 90% mileage credit on the frequent flyer on a relatively expensive ticket to no cancellations or name/date changes whatsoever for a heavily discounted ticket.

Our latest tickets were 45% cheaper than the airline but I only get 25% mileage credit & no cancellations or name/date change. Its all in the T&C's. You pays your money & takes your chance ;)
May the bridges I burn light the path in front of me

Nothing wrong with buying Qatar Airways super saver tickets but you have to stick to the itinerary or you will get hammered for any changes.
There are loads of options with Qatar Airways to avoid excessive charges for changes and unless you are a complete div you can avoid getting hammered.

I suggest you get a travel agent to get your tickets in future as you are incapable of getting your flights requirements right.

OT........ \:D/

..Actually they have also started direct flights from Doha to Phuket, Chiang Mai and Krabi (which has just started or is just starting). Decent airline and quite easy to get decent benefits with their rewards program after several flights (lounge access, priority check-in, extra baggage allowance, etc)
Looks like they were not available for the date range I initially selected (show only flights with available seats option selected) as I bumped the dates out by 10 days and Qatar showed around 27,000 baht r/t.
