I would like any advice on the procedure from the U.K. and how long it takes from start to boarding

TLDR : Answer Summary
To return to Thailand from the UK, you'll need to complete several steps related to visa and entry requirements, especially in light of COVID-19. First, ensure you have a current visa or apply for a Non-O visa based on your marriage or child. The most critical requirement is the Certificate of Entry (COE), which can be obtained through the Thai Embassy in the UK. Be sure to check their official updates as the situation may change frequently. Additionally, you will need to upload your visa, Covid insurance, and ASQ details along with your flight information when applying for the COE. The application process for the COE can take approximately two days once all documents are submitted.
