Flying to Thailand from USA on a UK passport. Do I need to get a visa ?
Answer summary
Travelers flying to Thailand from the USA on a UK passport do not need a visa for stays of up to 60 days due to visa exemption rules. Comments confirm that upon arrival, travelers will be given entry without a visa for this duration. Extensions are available if staying longer, but no visa is necessary unless the stay exceeds 60 days.

valid for 10 years meaning it EXPIRES in 2034 !!Marcin *******
1. passport expiry date, not length of passport validity.
Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your entry date.

@Johnny ******
can also extend 30 days at immigration offices throughout the thai nation on every entryFrankie ********
@Johnny ******
60 days on every entry irrelevant of what country you arrive from. Although land crossings may have restrictions. Last I heard was only 2 x land crossing per calender year. Don't quote me on that
Christopher ***********
@Frankie *******
The two land border entries per calendar year limit has been abolished. Air, land and sea port entries are, in theory, now unlimited. However, that hasn’t changed the fact that any and all entries are at the discretion of the immigration officer you face on the day!Johnny *******
OP@Brian ********
OK thanksFrankie ********
60 days visa exempt
