TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK passport holder can enter Thailand without a pre-purchased visa for 60 days under the visa-exempt entry program. Additionally, travelers must fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) form, which can be submitted online from 3 days before travel. The TDAC allows travelers to expedite their entry process upon arrival.
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 agents.co.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.

You've got your wires crossed a bit..

As far as you holding a brit passport you can show up here without having bought ANY visa from a thai consulate and get stamped in free for 60 days on the visa exempt entry program

What you're talking about is the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) program which started on May 1st.

You can file a TDAC online from 3 days before your travel to thailan right on down to when you're standing in the arrival hall (they have kiosks you use)

This is the website for the TDAC;
