ORIGINAL POSTER

I have an OA visa in my UK passport that expires shortly. I did not enter Thailand on it due to complications related to the pandemic. 

When it has expired and I want to fly to Thailand can I still enter using the usual 30 day Visa Exemption for arrivals for British passport holders?

Thanks

You can enter Thailand using the usual 30-day Visa Exemption for British passport holders, even if your OA visa has expired and you did not enter Thailand on it. Upon entry, you will receive 30 days, which can be extended for an additional 30 days.

Yes you can. You’d get 30 days on entry, which is extendable for 30 more
