TLDR : Answer Summary
You can travel to Thailand for 34 days using a UK passport. Upon your return from Vietnam, you will receive a new 30-day visa exemption. Ensure you have a plane ticket showing your exit to Vietnam to avoid any issues at the airport.

As long as you have your plane ticket showing your trip to Vietnam handy in case your airline asks for proof that you're leaving Thailand within 30 days, there shouldn't be any issue. You might need another ticket showing your exit from Thailand to show your airline in Vietnam also.

Yes on each entry to Thailand you will be stamped in for 30 days.

This is assuming you don’t have a vast previous entry history.

I only visit once a year until I retire in 4 years time πŸ™ I had a similar event last January and I had Hanoi booked for 2 weeks it’s beautiful, I intend to keep it on my list I do realise a long term visa from the Thai embassy in London but I just figured if I’m that close then fly from Bangkok Don Mueng Airport and fly back to sunny β˜€οΈ Thailand πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­

With that history you’d have no issues. They’re looking for people who are trying to buck the system with copious back to back short term visas or exempt entries.
