You need to know the current state of access to the UK before you apply for your gap year. Owing to a very recent change in interpretation of certain UKVI (boarder agency) regulations, a UK gap-year experience isn’t possible for those under 18 on the date of travel, unless you hold a UK ancestry (blood grandparent or closer born in the UK) OR have access to an Irish passport.

But all is certainly not lost for the younger applicants, as we have procured a good number of gap placements in Thailand (for both 6 and 12 months), and these are open to all ages (from 17).
The status of visas to the UK is still an uncertain area, and we will update you as soon as there is any news of a more definitive way forward.
