TLDR : Answer Summary
Currently, there is no need to apply for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for travel to Thailand from the UK as it has been postponed and is not yet in effect. Travelers arriving on a visa-exempt basis will receive a 60-day visa on arrival, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at immigration offices.

No. They haven’t been introduced yet.

You will be given 60 days free visa on arrival. You can extend it another 30 days by going to immigration offices only in the province your staying at.

The same website which jumped the gun with the 60 days visa exempt entry then corrected it by saying it had been rescinded ;)

didnt see that. Or any reports of it. Normally quite good and only do when on offical accounts as its a goverment website not a clickbait news website
