No problem. Most "rules" to control the spread of the virus in the UK are more like suggestions with many exceptions.

No problems, and as far as I’m aware, nobody has had any problems, just a case of increased stress levels and uncertainty in the days before departure

I’ve noticed on here this week, that There’s talk of things changing tomorrow ...but I wouldn’t worry, the focus is on arrivals and not departures

The government said last week that anyone departing would be questioned by police, and also would have to fill a separate form in at the airport.

scaremongering by the media mate, there’s no form, and I very much doubt there will be a form. They’ve already blocked the entry back in, so why would they need to do any more for those brave enough to leave...?

this is complicated to enter, a good effort to protect the Thai citizens. If you can afford the process, go. If not, stay home.

I was talking literally, they’ve made it so that it is very difficult to get in without large expense.

they haven't blocked flights in. Quarantine hotels are for red list countries. The rest of travellers just quarantine at home.

People can travel for legitimate reasons that's why airports are open. They are asking people not to book "leisure holidays". So not sure why anyone flying to Thailand would tell uk authorities it's a "leisure" holiday and not give a better reason if asked.
