TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, you do not need a PCR test to return to the UK from Thailand; instead, a Day 2 lateral flow test is required. However, specifics may vary depending on the airline and any transit locations. It's important to verify the requirements with your airline, especially for international travel, as they may have different policies in place regarding testing and documentation.

As long as your fully vaccinated you don’t need to do a PCR Test don’t forget you need to complete a passenger location form online

my friends mum and father in law didn't have a booking reference number for the PCR test upon returning to the uk and permitted to fly last Saturday, they had to contact home and get ref number but it wasn't done quick enough so they had to book new return flights

 yes that’s it passenger locator form only asks if you have been anywhere else which they would obviously check against your passport,you can fill it out up to a certain point then save the link which the gov e-mail to you to complete when ever suits you

Vaccinated: UK prebooked lateral flow test by day 2.

This is likely to change from Jan 26 apparently.

Obviously airline and transit may have other requirements.
