TLDR : 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.

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.

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.
