If I book a flight to Thailand from the UK for the middle of February with no more a reason than to feel the sun on my back and escape this hideousness on a visa exemption, is somebody at the airport going to stop me from leaving....?
Qatar airways would likely be the weapon of choice ....
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the possibility of traveling from the UK to Thailand for tourism in February without a visa. Most commenters express concern about travel restrictions due to COVID-19, indicating that tourism travel is not currently permitted and that certificates of entry (CoE) are not being issued for tourists. Various opinions suggest checking with UK authorities, emphasizing the need for compelling reasons to travel (like medical emergencies) and cautioning about potential consequences at the airport if documentation is not in order. Some encouraging comments underscore the importance of emotional health, encouraging the chosen traveler to still consider going if they can meet requirements.
