Didnt the Junta ask people not to fly to these countries yesterday to contain exposure?

Thailand is now 'waiving' at the world!????

I think this is a reasonable gesture given the future uncertainty - maybe it will be extended should the situation extend beyond that?  I hope other airlines can also start thinking about their PR perspective. Just what should airlines do?! I have heard people could lose all their fare fees due to cancellations and /or advisory travel conditions - travel insured or not.
