Google translate of the first bit.

All mobile operators in Thailand will have to introduce a fingerprint identification system for all new prepaid and postpaid SIM cards, with a provisional deadline set for next February.

As of February 2017, you will probably have to scan your fingerprints to buy a prepaid or postpaid SIM card in Thailand.

Sent from my mobile, please forgive the autocorrect.

will they make us all  "register with fingerprints" sim cards we already have ?

 

Maybe seen as the easiest way to get everyone's fingerprint data. In other word a fingerprint data bank is desired and this is seen as the easiest way of acquiring it.
