TLDR : Answer Summary

When arriving in Phuket on a single entry tourist visa valid for 60 days, it is suggested that 30 days of COVID insurance is adequate for the Thai Pass requirement. Additionally, obtaining travel insurance from your home country may offer better coverage and cost compared to insurance offered in Thailand.

Get travel insurance from your country. Usually better and cheaper than Thai insurance and you can purchase the length of stay you need.

from what I understand your Covid insurance needs to cover the period of your stay so 60 days or you may have problems at immigration or having your application for Thai pass rejected.

As you are aware a lot of policies do not specify specific covid insurance which is mandated by the Thai Gov.

no, it hasn't been that way since January. The website still says that but your pass application will be approved and immigration won't even ask to see your insurance.

maybe as you say I arrived last Tuesday and they had people prior to immigration just scanning the Thai pass I don't recall them Checking insurance. So if the Thai pass is OK with just 30day cover then I'll save next time when I return for 3 months.

Anyway the insurance is a scam so why waste the mi

Money right

you're not required to purchase Covid insurance. You just need to show that you have insurance that doesn't exclude Covid.
