I have a flight booked to Vietnam(Hanoi) on 3rd April. What’s the latest on getting back into Thailand 3 days later on 30 day exempt for british passport holder.
Answer summary
British passport holders are eligible for a 30-day visa exemption upon re-entering Thailand; however, recent travel restrictions to Vietnam may affect their plans. As of March 15, 2020, Vietnam has denied entry for travelers from the UK, meaning travelers need to check the latest entry requirements before flying on April 3. Furthermore, upon return to Thailand, it's essential to have a completed Medical Certificate and proof of health insurance worth at least $100,000.

Read this re Vietnam

Those planning to travel to Vietnam should be aware of the latest restrictions currently in place:

As of 12:00 pm on March 15, Vietnam suspended all visas and will deny entry to travelers from the UK and the 26 Schengen countries;

this includes travelers that have visited or transited through these countries in the past 14 days. This will be effective for 30 days.

In addition, Vietnam has suspended visa on arrival for all foreign nationals except for those on official or diplomatic trips.

Those who currently hold visas to enter Vietnam will need to undergo screenings and may be quarantined when entering the country.

From March 7, all travelers coming to Vietnam will be required to submit a health declaration upon arrival.

Passengers can fill out this declaration at the airport or submit it online via this link (picture below).

Those that are assessed to have symptoms of the epidemic will be transferred to designated health facilities for isolation.

There is a temporary ban on travelers with travel history to mainland China, except for those on official or diplomatic missions.
