TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, COVID-19 insurance is not mandatory for entry into Thailand, as the requirement was lifted last year. However, having travel insurance is generally advisable.
Bertrand ********
Yes in 2021
Eduard ****
No, but good to have travel insurance
Bob **********
No

No, but they're ramping up the fear mongering again. Every day there's some new propaganda article to scare the bejeesus out of Thais in order to coerce them to get booster shots and wear masks.

No, it's only the masked and vaxxed zombies that are still panicking. I never even wore a mask during the mandate much less now, yet all I see all day is a bunch of zombies afraid of living life like it was back in 2019.

I say get a grip and stop suffocating on these useless muzzles. It's retarded.

Yet I'm not..read the news. "Dr." Manoon is already telling Thais to wear masks again whenever leaving their homes. I don't think you understand how easily Thais believe what they're told on TV and on social media. They revere doctors like God's and will do anything they're told to do.

I'm already noticing more masking and panic in the eyes of some. One jogger adjusted his mask as he saw me drive by today.

my family are thai, no need to tell me I dont understand. Advice isn't coercion. Getting vaccinated isn't scaremongering. It tends to be anti vaxers that are scared and then have tantrums.

In December of last year there were 2 incidents of Thai Covid Karens who had a meltdown because someone around them decided to live life normally without wearing a useless face diaper. They cursed out these intelligent people exercising their freedom to choose.

More recently I've heard of stories including one westerner who encountered a frightened old Thai man in an elevator who nearly had a heart attack because the foreigner wasn't wearing a mask.

I mean, this is mental illness.

Every other neighboring country has moved on. Time to tell Thais to stop believing their idiot boxes and those lying doctors who's only interest is to make more money selling vaccines and masks.

fear mongering? Propaganda? Coercing? You're being a bit overdramatic. Lol.
