TLDR : Answer Summary
As of March 17, 2020, no medical certificate is required for UK citizens entering Thailand. However, travelers may need to undergo temperature checks and fill out a TM8 form, self-monitoring for the first 15 days. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider regarding coverage related to COVID-19.

why do people write so much rubbish if they don't know? No medical certificate is needed for a UK citizen for entering Thailand. They might check if you have any fever and maybe you will have to fill out the TM8 form, declare yourself willing to self monitor yourself for the first 15 days. You CAN definitely fly if your flight is going, even against the advice of your government. Holing yourself up in Thailand is probably safer than doing the same in the UK as Thailand is handling the measures greatly for the last 8 weeks, yet. Regarding your travel or longstay health insurance: i doubt they pay IF you catch specifically a Covid-19 infection, but you doubtless are insured for everything else, your governemnt has "adviced" but not "forbidden" travel! If in doubt, call them or email them

My flight tomorrow from Schiphol has been cancelled.

Any travel insurance is likely to be void in light of the latest UK government advice as could other insurances unless they cover you as a resident in Thailand. No medical certificate is needed as of today, 17th March.
