Do we need visas for a 2 week holiday, coming from UK?
Answer summary
UK citizens do not need a visa for a 2-week holiday in Thailand, as they can enter visa-free for up to 30 days when arriving by air. However, travelers are required to complete a TDAC form online prior to their flight, which is a quick process that can be presented upon arrival.

Digital arrival card. Fill out 0-72 hours prior to arrival. Don’t fall for scam sites like ivisa that will charge you $160 for the same thing.

Thailand Digital Arrivals Card. It's similar to the paper slip you were previously handed on the aeroplane just before landing. Now though you fill it in online up to 3 days prior to arrival.
