Thailand bans Boeing 737 MAX flights for 7 days
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand said on Wednesday it is suspending the use of the Boeing Co's 737 MAX 9 due to safety concerns.
The regulator said it will temporarily suspend the use of Thai Lion Air's Boeing 737 MAX 9s for seven days, starting on Thursday and will continue to investigate safety measures.
Thai Lion Air's three MAX 9 jets will be affected.

Previously (as in yesterday) CAAT had said they would follow the FAA (U.S.A.) lead.
CAAT ready to ban B-737 Max if advised to by FAA

Quantity-wise Southwest Airlines has the most amount of 737 MAX 8. It's still less than 5% of their fleet.
737 MAX 8 would be the least of my worries if traveling to SE Asia. I would be more concerned about avoiding the insane ATM fees in Thailand.
And don't take an Orient Thai charter flight.

You just need to Max out every ATM withdrawal , then it's not so bad because the better exchange rate makes up for it ,
But Yes if you take out smaller amounts the fee will shock you ,
But same as the USA , it's a $4-$5 fee at the local ATM if i take out $20 or $1000.
