TLDR : Answer Summary

An English passport holder, who frequently visits Thailand but is currently unable to access an embassy due to being in a war zone (Iraq), is inquiring whether a visa is required for his upcoming trip to Thailand. Since he travels to Thailand regularly, the specifics of visa requirements based on his travel intentions and duration of stay may need to be considered.
