TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, UK passport holders do not require a visa for stays up to 60 days in Thailand. However, it's uncertain if this will change by January 2026 due to potential government policy updates. Travelers are advised to check the regulations again in December 2025. Additionally, it's mandatory to complete the online arrival card within three days prior to arrival.

You will need to complete the online arrival card up to 3 days before you arrive

At moment ok but who knows in January, check in December

Visa exempt is still 60 days currently. But there's a new government so things might change before January. Impossible to say at this point.
