TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen can stay in Thailand for 30 days with a visa exemption. Alternatively, a 6-month multi-entry tourist visa can be obtained online from London for £150, allowing for a total of up to 9 months with two border crossings.

You can get a 6 months multi entry tourist visa from london [it’s all online] for 150 gbp. That will give you upto 9 months .

 you have to have a job before you can apply for a work visa.

The multiple entry non-B is a pretty rare visa.

 if you're not going to be working you can get a multiple entry tourist visa from your home country before traveling. This visa type is only available from your home country.
