TLDR : Answer Summary
The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for Thailand has not yet commenced. Comments indicate that it is unlikely to start this year and may be delayed into next year. Some speculate it will be implemented soon due to global trends, potentially serving as a means for collecting tourist tax.
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.

Sooner rather than later, as it seems to be in fashion worldwide . Thailand is usually late to the party lots of reasons for them to implement , not least of all a vehicle for them to collect dreaded tourist tax. I am sure it will be a big announcement when it happens.

That's the problem with the internet... Most things you read don't have dates so it may not be the most up to date relevant information...
