TLDR : Answer Summary

The best visa option for an 89-day stay in Thailand from the UK is to obtain a 60-day tourist visa, which can then be extended for an additional 30 days while in the country. However, it's essential to consider the need for a changeable flight ticket to accommodate any changes that may arise due to the extension. Alternative options include preparing for a 90-day stay with proper documentation such as insurance and accommodation reservations, but the 60-day visa with an extension is generally the most straightforward route.

I did what you want to do from Australia and prepared everything for the 90 days. Including; Insurance, fake burner ticket home after 90 days, 76 days 'reserved' accommodation (not paid for)- after the 14 days Sandbox. You could go this route OR prep everything for just the 60 days and then extend in-country and change your flight (as Stuart mentioned).

you may get away with that. Many do. Unfortunately some don’t. You can try to ask your airline for their policy. If for some reason they won’t let you board you can either opt to buy an “onward ticket” for around $10 or a real ticket to Singapore for around $35.

sorry not sure what’s asking you for not less than 14 days. If it’s the visa application system then give it details of a hotel you’d perhaps stay at for those dates.

the e-visa system is actually handled from within Thailand not at your local embassy anymore. I have no idea why they need proof of fully paid up accommodation for a visa you may not even be granted (in theory). One way to get proof of fully paid up accommodation is to use Agoda and choose a hotel that allows free cancellation. Nothing stopping you changing your mind once you’re here.

Easiest option is for a 60 day tourist visa. You can extend that in country for a further 30 days. The hang up may be with your flight out, but get a changeable ticket and change it once your here
