Do I need to purchase insurance for the full duration of my stay on a Tourist Visa in Thailand?

The original poster (O/P) asks about the necessity of purchasing travel insurance for their stay in Thailand, which begins with a 60-day Tourist Visa, along with potential extensions. Many commenters agree that while it is not required to have insurance beyond the initial period, it is advisable to ensure that any insurance purchased covers the total duration of stay, especially if extensions are planned. The consensus is that for the length of coverage, at least the duration of the current visa stamp is necessary.
