TLDR : Answer Summary

Canadian citizens can enter Thailand without an advance visa by presenting their passport, which qualifies for a 30-day visa exemption. They will need to show proof of a return ticket and may be asked to demonstrate sufficient funds, although this is not always enforced. Additionally, a Thailand Pass may be required, though it is expected to be phased out soon.

Yes Canadians can come in 30days visa exempt.

Just need Thailand pass, which will likely be scrapped doon.

If you show up with a Canadian passport and no visa, you'll be stamped in for 30 days visa exempt.

You're still going to need a ticket out of Thailand within 30 days or your airline likely won't let you board your flight.

Also immigration can ask you to show 20,000₿ or equivalent in a different currency, but it's rare and usually reserved for people they want to deny entry to.
