TLDR : Answer Summary
The ability to obtain a Visa on Arrival in Thailand or the need for an eVisa depends largely on your nationality. Many travelers can enter Thailand visa-exempt for a short duration, particularly those arriving by air. Proof of vaccinations may be required for entry. Some comments suggest that it may be less expensive and easier to perform a border run through Cambodia instead. It's crucial to verify the latest entry regulations, as they can change frequently.

Thailand is starting to be more strict with entry rules.
even mention the e-visa site for a border run. That said there is a second dependency in airport or land arrival? I seem to remember that visa exempt can reduce to 15 days in some cases if land-crossing.
I understand that, but what were you doing on the e-visa site? But, if there, you can immediately see that, without going into details it is for what I'll call specialist visa applications. That aside the difficulty is that you are talking now just after Thailand Pass has been removed but dated information is still in the ether and probably will be forever. In terms of visa exemption, indeed visas, everything is as it always was with Thailand Pass gone. The differences as against the past relate to immunisation proof or PCR that, of course never existing pre COVID. That's it. Unless you come in by land crossing, then watch that I think it was one of you would have shorter exemption than the other, but even short exemption is 15 Days so more than adequate for a visa run. Whatever you need to concentrate on your visa exemption length, not on visas.

You will need proof of vaccinations, airlines will not let you board without ,. I came couple of weeks ago ,. Showed proof at London airport with Klm ,. Landed and did visa excempt ,. Was very easy , no problems whatsoever ,. Had money travel insurance copy of vaccination ,. Was not asked for anything but I had it just in case ,. Seriously no problem 😌
A quick google search in your area for an ATK provider for travel purposes usually works. I did in UK and had results in a couple of hours with a a certificate.
Not sure with the ThaiPass going away whether it can be done on arrival and you bring your own test.
both nationalities do not require a visa for up to 30 days stay - called visa exempt. You can enter Thailand via land borders visa exempt 2 times per calendar year. No technical limit on entires by air.
