UK (British citizen) passport holders entering Thailand under the visa exemption scheme can stay up to 30 days, tourism only (rule in force from 15 September 2026). A training trip may not count as tourism for every traveller, so check GOV.UK or the Thai embassy before booking - this is not immigration advice. Everyone entering Thailand by air, land or sea must complete the Digital Arrival Card before arrival; registration opens within 3 days before arrival. Passports need at least 6 months' validity after arrival and one blank page, and officials can ask for proof of funds (10,000 THB per person or 20,000 THB per family) and onward travel.
