TLDR : Answer Summary
To enter Thailand, the requirements include obtaining a certificate of entry from your local Thai consulate, booking mandatory quarantine, having travel insurance, and providing a negative COVID-19 test along with a fit-to-fly certificate. Depending on your nationality, a visa may not be required. Additionally, factors such as your country of origin, purpose of travel, and planned duration of stay can affect these requirements.

Depends on a few factors. Where you are coming from? How long you be here? What will you be doing here (tourism, working, marriage, school, etc).

i am sure if you had a accident in the airport and they had to remove your dirty underwear you could be denied entry.

its actually very simple/easy to come to thailand. you just have to be willing to quarantine, get insurance, and have a negative covid test prior to coming.

Depending on where you passport is from you may not even need a visa!

Impossible to answer your incomplete question.

What is your nationality?

Where are you entering from?

On what basis will you enter?

For how long?

Your profile suggests you are Thai. If so in that case scratch the visa and negative Covid test requirements.

Keep in mind you may need a neg covid test if not taking a repatriation flight.

I believe that requirement was dropped a while ago, although I couldn’t be certain.

. If a Thai person is not flying on a repatriation flight then they are subject to the rules of the airline. And most international flights require the test (or consider you a regular traveler and are subject to the rules of country you’re flying into. Ie Thailand requires a neg covid test to come here so you’d also have to have one).

my Thai son flew back home last year on emirates and did not need a Covid test.

I understand what you’re saying but I believe that airlines like Emirates and Qatar dropped the requirements for Thai nationals on their flights. Whether that was because of rules to fly to Thailand I have no idea. It could have course reversed but I’ve not seen many posts lately confirming one way or the other.

You’ll have to liaise with your local Thai consulate. You need to get a certificate of entry, have booked mandatory quarantine, insurance and a negative Covid test and a fit to fly certificate. Depending on your nationality you may need a visa.
