If you have entered with a 90 day insurance coverage and staying past that 90 coverage period, is it mandatory to purchase for the duration of the stay? Or it’s only mandatory to show when entering?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand, it is typically required to have health insurance coverage; however, once you are in the country, maintaining that insurance for the duration of your stay is generally not mandatory unless your visa type requires it for extensions.
