TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, travelers from the UK do not need to apply for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to enter Thailand as it has not been introduced yet. Instead, travelers can expect to receive a 60-day visa upon arrival, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at immigration offices within Thailand.

Another victim to RUMOURS, that haven’t been through parlament.

If it ever will be reality, then you can read it on Thai Embassy websites.

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The same website which jumped the gun with the 60 days visa exempt entry then corrected it by saying it had been rescinded ;)
