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.

Almost no change from the uk to come in Thailand , best go to embassy and ask for latest up dates

Go to group farangs stranded abroad on the page look for the link for the UK specific group. This is your best info for latest up to date information. Most of people in this group are inside Thailand so dont really know whats going on outside.

Most important thing is the COE. Do you have a current visa/extension or are you applying for a Non-O based on marriage/child?

non O visaBobby ********
@Niel ******
. Non-O based on marriage? There are several non-O visas

@Niel ******
. Just because you have a wife and child here, it doesn't automatically mean that you're on a visa based on marriage or a dependent. You could have a non o visa based on retirement. Which would mean that you wouldn't be allowed back in the country. So Bobby s questions was relevant.Niel *******

Cheers for the adviceBobby ********
@Niel ******
. So if you have a current visa simply apply to the embassy for a COE. The embassy will specify what other documents you may need. Marriage certificate, birth certificate etc. As you already have a visa you can bypass that step.Niel *******
