TLDR : Answer Summary

For your upcoming visa extension in March 2020, you are not required to have health insurance, as the Type O visa does not have this requirement. Only the O-A visa or extensions from an O-A visa after October 31st necessitate insurance.

I circled the O visa notations on both the in country VISA and the 90 day entry stamp.

NO INSURANCE IS REQUIRED.

Okay if you look at the bottom image

The one that shows your VISA (that you got from the immigration office at Chaengwattana on Dec 13, 2017) you can clearly see that it is a Type O visa .

The ONLY type of visa / extension that requires insurance is an O-A visa or an extension of stay from an O-A visa AFTER the 31st of Oct.
