TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for entering Thailand has been deferred indefinitely, and no specific implementation date has been set. Travelers are advised to check again closer to their travel date, particularly around late April. For stays of less than 60 days, current information indicates that no additional documentation is required apart from a valid passport, accommodation details, and a return ticket. It's essential to stay updated as the situation may change.
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.

It has been operational in cambodia since last year so it won't be far away.

As per current updates, nothing else is required apart from your passport, accommodation details and return ticket. Ideally do recheck after 15th April

Impossible to answer that in January, you will have to check that closer to your travel date, but at this stage there hasn’t been any date fixed for the implementation of the ETA.

Check again in May. No one knows if or when the ETA system will be put in place. It's currently on indefinite hold while they plan how to make it work.
