Thanks alot!
Answer summary
Travelers are advised that Thai Airways will strictly check health certificates and insurance before boarding flights from Hanoi to Bangkok. Essential documents must be presented during check-in in Hanoi; failure to do so will result in being denied boarding. New requirements include a valid health certificate and health insurance coverage of USD 100,000.

Friends of a friend at Birmingham UK Friday, because they would be landing in BKK after the new enforcement.

You should be checked before boarding the flight

My understanding is it's done by the airline in the city where your boarding airplane not in Thailand... another word for airline needs to see this documentation or they won't let you board the plane.

health certificate is strictly required now (not only fit to fly) and health insurance covering USD 100.000 Citra *******************
My friend supposed to fly back to thailand this morning with thai airways and got rejected by the airline staff at check-in counter because the health certificate that she has wasn't the correct one. Even tho she has valid NON-O Visa.
