In a post published today by the Prime Minister's public relations department, it's indicated that 5 of the measures announced will take effect later in June or July. We will see what happens with the 60 day visa exempt and if it actually goes into effect at midnight tonight.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Prime Minister's public relations department announced upcoming measures that will affect visa exemptions in Thailand, potentially including a 60-day visa exemption that may commence at midnight. There are differing opinions expressed in the comments regarding the implementation and complexity of the new measures, with some users awaiting additional information about the Digital Visa (DTV) and others preparing for potential travel to Laos for visa appointments.
about as reliable as everything else they say. Never believe anything they say unless you can also substantiate it independently

This would suggest nothing will happen on the 1st of June but hey let's see !
the ONLY information I've seen so far said you have to show you have 500,000 baht for the duration of your stay in Thailand. Does this mean you show you have it when you apply? You have to keep it in a Thai bank and show when you enter or apply for extension? Can it be in an account outside of Thailand? Who knows. But if it's true just that amount is enough to kill it for most people.
well 500.000 is a big number especially if you have to not touch it, I think it’s at the moment you apply and renew the visa to be sure you can survive and pay the plane back
When I applied for a tourist visa a year ago I sent multiple bank account in France and it was ok
Then in KL I had a letter of recommendation from my Thai bank
So maybe both work?
