Can a US citizen perform visa runs in Thailand every 60 days with a 30-day extension, or is a Multi Entry Visa necessary?

I am a US citizen. Can I just fly out every 60 days (with a 30 day extension) and fly back for my visa run? I just assumed I could do that but now I am hearing there are restrictions to visa runs.

Or do I need a Multi Entry Visa (how long are those for) from my home country.

I am also looking into an Educational Visa to learn Thai.

Help!
Answer summary
A US citizen can technically perform visa runs every 60 days and obtain a 30-day extension; however, there are unofficial restrictions on this practice based on recent immigration policies. Seeking a Multi Entry Visa might be a more reliable option, which allows for multiple entries and typically lasts for six months to one year, depending on the type. Additionally, exploring an Educational Visa for learning Thai is advisable, as it may offer a more stable long-term solution.
