ETA

I am coming back to Thailand soon and am unsure as to whether the ETA has been introduced.

It hasn't and won't anytime soon.  The new online TM6 might start in May.

The way I see it, the ETA idea has been abandoned and the current plan is to introduce the TDAC:

They're not going to abandon the ETA for many reasons. It's the only way they'll be able to introduce automated gates on entry for one thing. Getting all of the visa exempt people in through automated gates would do the most in streamlining the entry process.

 

And then the biggest factor, it's really the only way they'll be able to implement the tourist entry tax they've been spouting about for years now. When all that money is involved, they will find a way to get it working eventually.
