TLDR : Answer Summary

If you exit Thailand via the Songkhla/Sadao land border and re-enter with an OA extension visa, you can receive a one-year stamp as long as you meet certain conditions. It's essential to enter before your visa's expiry date and possess a valid re-entry permit. Additionally, you'll need to show proof of your mandatory health insurance for a full year's extension. If your insurance certificate and other requirements are in order, you should receive the same one-year stay stamp as you would at a major international airport.

you will only get stamped back in until your mandatory health insurance (that you carry on that OA visa) expires (up to a year).

The fact they didn't ask for it before does not mean it's not a requirement to get stamped in on an OA visa (it is)

There is no proof of funds though

Yes. If you have reentry permit. Make sure you have 12 months insurance certificate to get full 12 months stamp

Before they never asked insurance certificate (for OA visa) or bank statement at the Bkk Airport and directly extended for 1 year when i re-entered Thailand. For OA category when re-entering Thailand, do they now ask for Insurance Cert at the Airport or land border to get full 12 months?

the expiration date of your O-A required insurance is noted on your original OA Visa sticker and entered into the Thailand immigration database.

When you obtain new OA insurance the expiration date is updated in the Thai immigration computer's.

As long as you enter before the expiry date of the visa you get 1 year of stay
