Not quite! She can travel to the Republic of Ireland without a visa.

Not any country outside of the UK, as has already been pointed out if she has a UK Visa she can visit the Republic of Ireland, she could also visit countries like Turkey and Russia visa free, and there are no doubt many more.

But as I advised earlier, in answer to the original question she will need a Schengen Visa issued by the French in Bangkok for the trip the OP describes.

A Schengen visa generally needs to be applied for in the country of residence.  So unless a Thai citizen is a resident in the UK, they would need to apply from Bangkok.

 

The exceptions being genuine emergencies and EU/EEA family members. The Thai spouse and direct family of an EU/EEA national can apply from anywhere in the world under the relaxed EU freedom of movement  rules (directive 2004/38). Though not all embassy staff is aware of it, let alone the external service providers (VFS, BLS, TLS).
