July 1 has almost gone. No announcement on Thai Embassy website in Canberra as to implementation of Mandatory Health Insurance for O A non immigrant long stay based on retirement. 

So far good news for me although tomorrow is another day!

Seems keeping my legs crossed worked!

No announcements in Thai media also. We will found out as soon as it becomes official. Only a Phuket magazine started rumor about health insurance for every tourist starting end of this year. I guess I heard that rumor about dozens of times in the last past years.
