It is confusing, assume that's done on purpose.
My read is that vaccines need to be Thai FDA approved, and companies need to be approved to import an approved vaccine. And each company must make a separate application for each vaccine.
So far three vaccines are Thai FDA approved: AZ, Sinovac, J&J (Janssen).
Fourteen companies (could be anyone: hospitals, logistics companies, etc.) have applied to import approved vaccines. Three, maybe four, have been approved, Ten are in the red-tape zone, probably need to grease the skids.
Everything is under control... it's in the "pending tray"

An oxymoron right there !

Same as Khon Kaen. At the least, the surgeries & surgery wards will have to be shut down & disinfected for three days. Everywhere those personnel went, even the canteen, will have to be shut for a deep clean.
Always a silver lining.

The minister said if every citizen continues to properly protect themselves, the outbreak will soon be contained and a nationwide lockdown or strict measures that could hurt the economy will not be necessary.
Therin lays the problem... as seen in many entertainment venues.

Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda said there is no need for a nationwide lockdown to tackle the latest outbreak of Covid-19.
At least not until after Songkran when the mire will have hit the fan big-time.

The Thai government insists it has not barred private sector companies from ordering Covid-19 vaccines for commercial distribution in Thailand, in responding to rumors that the government was monopolizing Covid-19 vaccine imports.
If the cap fits...

"got rich" wouldn't exactly call 5 million baht in assets Rich
The term "rich" is subjective.

Arrivals from the red zone provinces ‒ Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan and Nakhon Pathom – must install the Mor Chana tracking app, self-monitor for any signs of infection, and provide their travel details to hotel staff who will report the information to the local Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), said the order
Makes perfect sense... if you want to continue the spread.

Policemen and women and civil servants connected to the force got the tests for free.
The general public - 100% in masks - had to pay 2,200 baht with an extra 400 baht on top for a 40 minute express results service.
So those who can afford it get it for free, those who might be a bit tight have to pay...
one sure way to discourage those who don't have the spare cash for a test to stay low until symptoms show then go get help... a recipe for another disaster looming.

Seems that the entertainment business needs more education, not just in Hua HIn but nationwide... they think this is all just a fabrication and they can do as they wish.
Cry like babies to open up, yet are the first to screw-up when allowed.

Prof Dr Yong Poovorawan, head of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University, wrote on his Facebook page that the British variant known as B.1.1.7 had spread widely in Cambodia since Feb 20 and on March 19 about 1,500 people had the variant in Cambodia.
That still doesn't explain how it got into Thailand... unless it follows a similar pattern of how Myanmarese workers managed to cross the border and make their way to Samut Sakhon area undetected?

I was hoping to see some photos of these ministers interacting with the hostesses.
I have nothing against the hard working hostesses, but I don't want to see any photos of ministers interacting.

The link is with bars/clubs shut the drinking fraternity will seek-out restaurants to drink instead.
A little lateral thinking goes a long way.

PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has confirmed that people arriving in Phuket from COVID high-risk ‘red zone’ provinces do not face quarantine in Phuket, but must follow other disease control measures
Never a lesson learnt... best of luck.
I was planning a trip south, after hearing this I've opted out of Phuket.

It makes perfect sense, when it goes pear shaped the PM can blame others.
