TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling to Thailand from the UK requires applying for a visa from the Thai embassy in London, along with obtaining a Certificate of Entry, which comes with specific requirements. The embassy's website provides updated information on visa processes and entry conditions. Potential travelers should consider delays and current restrictions, suggesting it might be preferable to wait until after Christmas for travel to avoid disappointment.

I went to Thailand in March when the U.K. was in lockdown and have just returned as Thailand is currently in lockdown. I’ll return there in New Year and recommend you do same.

Don't forget the quarantine or the sand box. Better to wait until after New year. There are a lot of restrictions right now in Thailand.

It’s not hard to do yourself.

Thai consulate in London’s website explains everything you need.

It’s not difficult.

I can’t see the point of paying someone to do it. Waste of money if you ask me.

London consulate has links for all ASQ hotels etc.

Totally agree.

The COE is self explanatory.

Go via the Sandbox in Phuket and then extend your visa on arrival.

So easy.

You apply for a visa (or don’t and come visa exempt) from the Thai embassy in London. Either way you need a certificate of entry from them and that entails quite a few hoops to jump through. Google their website. It has all the latest entry conditions.
