Can you still go to thialand on a free 60 day visa if you hold English passport
Answer summary
British passport holders can visit Thailand under the 60-day visa exemption, granting them entry without a visa, provided they fill out a digital arrival card prior to arrival (but no sooner than 3 days). It's important to note that this entry is often referred to as a stamp rather than a visa.

when you enter visa-exempt, you get stamped a 60-days STAY PERMIT. It is NOT a "visa"

Point of being pedantic but you don’t hold an English passport. You may well have a British passport, and if you do you can travel to Thailand and enter visa exempt with a stamp for 60 days.

they were going to back in may/june because they said the 60 day free entry had led to more criminal activity. But seamed to have decided against this.
