TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the possibility of working remotely in Thailand for a foreign company. It suggests that if you are not selling to Thai clients, it might be permitted, and that you will need an employment certificate stating you are authorized to work remotely.

No insurance requirements.

You'll need to supply the above and an employment certificate stating you are currently employed and authorized to work remotely in Thailand.
