Answer summary
If you hold a UK passport, you can enter Thailand under the current visa exemption policy for up to 60 days. This exemption can be renewed each time you re-enter Thailand within the duration of your overall trip, including travel to Vietnam and Singapore. It's crucial to have proof of onward travel when checking in for your flight, as airlines may require it. Additionally, for Vietnam, a stay of up to 45 days is possible without a visa, while Singapore allows for a visa-free stay of up to 90 days. Be sure to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) prior to each entry into Thailand.

Is the visa exemption back to 60 days? I thought it was back to 30 days?

On a UK passport with your flight schedule you will have very few problems with Thai immigration as it’s clear you are a tourist. As already said Thai will give you a a 60 day visa exemption renewable each time you enter. Ensure you complete the online DTAC within 3 days of arrival. Similarly Singapore gives 90 days and complete digital entry card. Vietnam is 45 days no visa for UK passport but definitely need onward flight (or alternate travel) booked before checkin.

If you hold a UK passport, you can enter Thailand on a 60 day non-exemption. Even if you go to Singapore and Vietnam within the 60 days, you will be fine entering Thailand again unless the Immigration Officer detects you are coming in and out of Thailand on 60 day exemptions and extensions too many times. There is no set number of times you can do this. I don’t think this applies to you so I won’t elaborate. You will need to complete a TDAC each and every time you enter Thailand. Google TDAC and its timelines for completion. You will need a visa to enter Vietnam. You can do this online. Singapore you can enter w/o a visa for stays up to 90 days. You need to complete a SG arrival card. Make sure your passport is valid for 6 months after arrival date.

If you are travelling around then make sure you leave Thailand within 60 days as that’s the length of the visa exemption.
When you return to Thailand you will get another 60 day exemption (assuming there’s no problems). That should cover you for your whole trip.

Make absolutely sure that you have onwards travel from Vietnam. They will refuse boarding at check in if you haven't.
Nigel *********
You need to include what passport you're using. Not everyone who travels from the uk will have a uk passport.

@Sasha *****
like a lot of ppl are commenting … without a proper itinerary how are ppl to know if you need a visa. For instance if you are staying the 1st 61 days in Thailand then you either need a visa or need to do an extension. We are not mind readers

@Bob *********
that's got nothing to do with an onward flight, which is what I was commenting about.Bob **********
@Stephen *******
Airlines have been asking for the TDACAng *****
@Bob *********
yes, I’m aware they may ask. That wasn’t the question though. Perhaps reply to OP she may find that useful - you can include all the options available assuming she hasn’t already purchased onward travel.

With UK passport you get visa exempt for 60 days in Thailand (although rumours keep swirling that it may return to 30) 45 days visa exempt in Vietnam and 90 days visa exempt to Singapore. Just make sure you have proof of onward travel in each case .
