TLDR : 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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

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.
