I have tried to find information on whether the one day quarantine is still allowed when flying to Thailand from England via a connecting flight in Dubai. Or will I have to fly direct?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers flying to Thailand from England via a connecting flight in Dubai can transit without issues, as long as they meet the necessary pre-flight requirements. The quarantine period, including the one-day quarantine, is allowed provided that the transit does not involve going through passport control and they are coming from a low-risk exempt country. Confirming your vaccination status and ensuring your transit time is under 12 hours will also play a critical role in these regulations.

Your transit airport does not count towards your list of countries you've been in as long as you are there less than 12 hours and do not leave the airport.,

I use Emirates normally and the only official notice I can find is that you have to be resident for minimum of 21 days from a country on the 40+ allowed list

there’s now 63 countries allowed. You can have been in any of them or a combination of them for 21 days. If you’ve visited a country not on the list the 21 days resets.
