i have an application Awaiting document approval at the London embassy. I did write to them via email and they responded just saying we are very busy but will endeavour to have reviewed etc. Within the 10 working days. Also bear in mind they will deal with visas that are needed more urgently first, so if your trip isn't for another month or 2 then you're not a high priority

Which country are you currently in? If you are in thailand you can't apply for a visa through the London embassy unless you are in the uk? If you are in thailand then unless you are planning on coming back to the uk. You will need to apply in a neighbouring country and use your entry stamp in your passport to show you are in that country. Go to Vietnam for example apply on their evisa system stay until you are approved.

Try virgin travel insurance as it will cover 90 day trips and you can list your current health conditions

you sound like you'll be ok 👍 it's baht or equivalent so can be in any currency. The chances are you wont be asked its just in case they are looking for a reason to deny you entry.
