TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the requirements for obtaining a single entry 60-day tourist visa for Thailand, emphasizing the need for specified documents such as passport photos, an invitation letter from family, proof of residency in the UK, and proof of funds. Several comments highlight alternative options, like entering on a visa exemption for a 30-day stay, which can be extended, as well as details about the financial proof required for different visa categories.

I'm sure Thais coming to the UK have more hoops to jump through to get a visa I know they do to come to Australia

yes the question about the wife/spouse was strange since I don't have one, and the system would not let me bypass it.

From 1st October, you get 45 day visa exemption on arrival. Which you can further extend , once, as normal.

Still, not official yet. Should mention that it's in the works, and will possibly happen. If it doesn't go through and he uses your advice to book a flight 15 days too late, he will lose a bunch of money.

YES...it will be easier as you state to enter Thailand visa exempt. You will get a 30 day stamp on arrival ...(45 days if arrive October 1, 2022 and after thru March 31, 2023).

That gives you up to 60 or 75 days stay in Thailand.

If you want to stay longer the Thai land borders are Open for quick BORDER RUNS with Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia...(except Myanmar is Closed).

Just make sure you have a ticket departing Thailand within 29 days of your arrival date...as your airline may ask to see it when you check-in for your flight to Thailand.
