TLDR : Answer Summary
When extending your Special Tourist Visa (STV) at Jomtien immigration, you will indeed need to extend your insurance coverage. It is important to note that the insurance must be from a Thai provider.

Yes, it's a strict visa and 'might' ask for all the stuff/paperwork that got you into the country

i do remember someone saying there was a way of using non thai insurance, but cannot remember details.
