TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers flying back to the UK with Emirates from Bangkok do not require a COVID-19 test prior to departure, as the UK has lifted this requirement. However, there may be airline or transit port policies that necessitate a negative test result, particularly if transiting through the UAE or other countries. It is advisable to check with Emirates or relevant airlines for specific requirements, especially regarding transit.

I flew back to the UK with Emirates last week and the only thing needed was a pre-departure antigen test which now the UK no longer requires.

It is the UAE that require the covid test to transit. So Emirates will require it

No test required pre-flight for UK, but depending on the airline it may be an airline policy or a transit port policy (eg. Singapore), so check with your airline

I'm pretty sure the UK requires a covid test, not sure what kind or time frame though.
