TLDR : Answer Summary
A German passport holder can enter Thailand without a visa for a 60-day stay, which is sufficient for a 30-day vacation. However, travelers should check the latest regulations, as there are discussions about possibly reducing the duration back to 30 days. Additionally, a TDAC must be obtained within three days of 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.

What have you done in the past ?

The only difference now is you'll need TDAC within 3 days of arrival

You didn't say what passport, so impossible to answer your question.

Since you wrote your post in German, I'll assume it's a German passport. If that's the case, then you are currently entitled to a 60-day visa exempt entry if you arrive without a visa. The government is discussing changing that back to 30-days, but that would still be enough for a 30 day vacation.
