TLDR : Answer Summary

As of the latest information, UK citizens traveling to Thailand can currently stay for up to 60 days visa-exempt. There have been discussions about possibly reverting to a 30-day exemption, but no official changes have been confirmed yet. Travelers are advised to check the government website for the most current information as regulations can change.

And, possibly chages back to 30 days may be country dependent..as indicated by others, impossible to tell, and wise to get single entry tourist visa..which will be forwarded to you in .pdf format..60 days and possible to extend another 30. The fact that is an "official" visa ..not "exempt"status may make all the difference when the changes take effect.

Currently visa exempt is 60 days. There are proposals in the government to change it back to 30 days, but the last report was that they are still mulling it over. At this point no one knows if or when it will change. It might remain at 60 days, it might change to 30 days.
