TLDR : Answer Summary
Users share various prefixes and methods for making cheaper calls to the UK from Thailand. The prefixes vary by mobile carrier: 00500 for AIS, 00400 for DTAC, and 006 for True. Other suggestions include using apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Skype for free calls, as well as VOIP services like Voipcheap.com for better rates on landline calls.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Use a VOIP service like Voipcheap dot com and after adding like $10 credit you get free calls to landlines in most western countries and cheaper than Skype calls to mobiles.
