Answer summary
As a UK citizen, you can enter Thailand without a visa and receive a 60-day stamp upon arrival. It's essential to have proof of accommodation and an outbound flight to present, though proof of sufficient funds may not be frequently asked for. If you wish to stay longer than 60 days, you would need to obtain a visa in advance.

No issue just fly in. I am a Brit too. You don’t need to apply in advance. If you want 90 day then yes organise before you leave ( circa £150).
I used to make at least 2 x 60 day a year
Unless it’s changed google advises
You can visit Thailand for a period of 60 days for the purpose of tourism, business engagements, and urgent or ad-hoc work. This visa category can be extended for another period not exceeding 30 days. You can also apply in advance for a multiple-entry visa for up to 60 days.

I’m from UK and Never been asked for proof of funds in 16 years of near monthly in/outs, possible you may need proof of onward travel after your stay expires,, however I’ve been asked that only twice during my travels and that was by the check in staff.

@Lynnette ******
do you 100 percent need a return flight on arrival?Lynnette *******
@Kaela ********
proof you are leaving within 60 days can be requested by airline. I'd call them and ask. Immigration can ask but rarely do.
Stewart **********
Yep. Visa exempt. Just turn up with passport and you can stay for 60 days without a visa.

Simply fly into Thailand and you will be stamped in 60-day Visa Exempt. Make sure you have ฿20k cash, evidence of where your staying and a flight out within the 60 days.

@Phil *****
you don't need that just come you have 60 days on arrival no application required just a smile. You are allowed to apply for another 30 day extension of you want. The extension you go to immagration and cost is 1900 bht. EnjoyDumitrescu ******************
@David *******
if someone wants to stay more than 60 days they still need an exit ticket from Thailand?David ********
@Dumitrescu *****************
says who l always come in on a one way ticket. Immagration never check it's not a requirement of entry. Maybe you are getting ripped off by the airline you fly with it's a onsell thing. If that's the case why can you buy a one way ticket?

@Phil *****
ok understandPhil ******
@Jo *********
I've never been asked and from Australia. However I must advise official rule to op which is ฿20k.Jo **********
@Phil *****
it’s a written rule but only enforced if you are coming from a very poor country or you appear to be lacking funds to enter the country. It’s extremely isolated. For example, I have entered Thailand well over 100 times never been asked. Same for other people I know.Andrew ******
OPthanks for the reply Jim.

You don’t need anything. You will receive a 60 day stamp on arrival into Thailand
