TLDR : Answer Summary

Travelers from the UK can stay in Thailand for up to 30 days without a visa. Since the user plans to stay for 34 nights, they will need to apply for a visa extension or obtain a 60-day tourist visa before their trip. It is generally recommended to apply for the tourist visa in advance through the evisa system for convenience and cost-effectiveness.

When going to Thailand for 31 - 60 ( 90 )days, the 60 days touristvisa is the best option.

It is cheaper than visaexcempt + 30 days extension.

No need of a onward ticket ( 90 days 1 onward ), if returnticket within 60 days.

It is easier to apply from the comfort of your home.

Not wasting holiday time to find, go to and waiting at a immigration office ( 90 you would need that ).

No need to leave Thailand in up to 90 days.

You should apply for a tourist visa through the evisa system before you travel.

It costs less than going to the immigration office and applying for an extension while you're in Thailand, and it also saves you the 4-6 hours it takes to do so. It's better in every way. If you don't apply for the visa you'll have to go to immigration for an extension since you'll only get 30 days visa exempt if it arrive without a visa.

If you're coming from the UK you can stay 30 days without a visa. Anymore than 30 days you have to apply for an extension. Cheers
