TLDR : Answer Summary
British passport holders can obtain a 30-day visa on arrival in Thailand, while Nigerian passport holders must apply for a visa in advance at a Thai embassy, as visa on arrival is not available for them. Additionally, Nigerians traveling to Thailand are required to have an International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever.

Mandatory yellow fever vaccination for Thailand

Nationals of Nigeria or nationals arriving from Nigeria require an International Certificate of Vaccination in order to enter Thailand, unless they produce evidence that they do not reside in the following areas. Failure to fulfill this requirement could result in refusal of entry into Thailand.

Visa required in advance

Citizens of the Nigeria can only apply for a Visa in advance in their home country's Thai Embassy. Thai Embassies abroad only accept applications of these countries' citizens if they have a resident permit of the country they want to apply from.

We live in England & My wife hasn’t been in Nigeria for 10 yrs, so we’ll be applying for her Visa from UK. Is this correct?

If she has legal residency in the UK, that should be fine
