Interesting. I just checked via the United Timatic link (https://www.united.com/en/us/timatic/ )and it still shows Thai Pass needed.
I thought it pulled from the exact same master Timatic data.

From my understanding, when the documents were being examined more thoroughly, they were looking for specifics on coverage amount and specifically covering COVID. Now that the process is much quicker (automatic?), the scrutiny is not possible. If you turn out not to have coverage when needed, likely will get into some sort of trouble. But reports are that general insurance coverage letters are now being accepted when kicked back before.
