There has been some discussion over at the TG forum - the consensus is that TG has eliminated (or at least minimised) YQ for ex-BKK award itineraries*, almost certainly nothing to do with the law.

*Not even all ex-BKK segments, but roundtrip itineraries originating from BKK - e.g. FRA-BKK-FRA award flights still get charged full YQ
