TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of relocating a cat from the UK to Thailand involves several key steps: ensuring all vaccinations are up to date (some may need to be done a month prior), obtaining exportation documents from DEFRA, and acquiring an import certificate from Thailand's Department of Agriculture. Additionally, an airline-approved pet crate is required, and a vet check-up for the cat shortly before departure is necessary. Once in Bangkok, as long as all documents are in order, there should be no quarantine period, but an import tax may need to be paid.

I brought a cat and a dog from the UK to here.

You have to go to your vet and get all the necessary vaccinations, check with the vet but some need to be done a month or so prior to departure. You will also need exportation documents from DEFRA and an import certificate from the department of agriculture in Thailand. Also you will need airline approved pet crates.

The vet will also have to give your cat a check up a few hours before departure.

It's not that difficult a process and DEFRA were quite helpful.

Once you land in Bangkok providing you have all the documents in order you will pay an import tax and take your cat home with you, no quarantine.
