TLDR : Answer Summary
A traveler arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport on an OA visa obtained before the October 31 deadline. Although immigration inquired about health insurance, another officer confirmed that proof of insurance was not required due to the timing of the visa.

What possible benefit could there be to keeping a topic open that only relates one persons experience?

I mean thanx for the update (y)

BUT

there is no need to debate why you weren't asked for proof of insurance, I doubt the immigration officers really know what they're doing yet.
