I think the $3million is more like a bribe to get them to open the door to aid. Almost certainly any money donated won't get to the people. Most countries have made it clear that is the reason they are low balling cash donations. But many developed countries (and thailand) wants to get experts over with supplies ASAP.
If I was Thailand I'd be in panic mode. Could be 1,000,000 refugees knocking on the door soon.
