Arriving from the UK.
Thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
If you arrive in Thailand without a visa from the UK, you will receive a 60-day stamp on arrival instead of the previously assumed 30 days. After this period, you can apply for a 30-day extension at your local immigration office, which will cost approximately 1,900 baht, allowing a total stay of up to 90 days in Thailand.

When you research on Google it still says 30 so I understand your confusing and when I booked my flight with an agent they also told me it's 30

@Hannah *****************
you can come on holiday as often as you want, it's up to the immigration officer if they think you're trying to live here using visa exempt.Hannah ******************

@Hannah *****************
there are visas and there are visa exempt ( no visa) entries for many countries. The 60 days visa exempt can be extended by 30 days to give 90 days in country.Reply to

Other way around you will get a 60 day visa exempt stamp, and you will be able to get another 30 days extension at your local immigration office for 1,900 baht, giving you a total of 90 days inside of Thailand.
