Just in case I go the extend O-A with insurance route, if my current stay expires July 2, do I ask the insurance company to make the new policy effective on July 2? 

from the gist of the confusion on the other thread I would have the insurance company make it valid from 3pm july 1st and apply 1st thing in the morning on july 2nd. you will (according to the other thread) lose 1 day of your year but this being a leap year you already were given a free day so they'd just be taking it back. ????

EXIT and reenter either via visa exempt stamp or setv. Either of these can be "converted" at immigration to a non o.

Prior to expiry apply for extension.

The non o CAN be obtained INSIDE of Thailand.

Went today to C Mai for another extension of my Non-o. Told to come back with a bank statement as they wouldn't accept copy of bank book ( as I have done for the last 6 years) Bank statement for a savings account does not show running balances as it matures every 90 days. Now have to go back and get a bank statement for my ordinary account, which does show running balances. My deposit account has been active since 2015. Bah humbug.
