TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses whether one can enter Thailand with an approved O-A visa when the insurance coverage starts at the end of the next month. The consensus from the comments indicates that valid insurance is required for entry, and the insurance policy must be current to match the duration of the visa. Suggestions include requesting the insurance broker to start the policy sooner or adjusting the start date.

Nope, must have current valid insurance for entry. Ask your insurance broker to start policy ASAP or whatever.
