So let me just get this correct with the metv...

I can leave as many times as i want to and still get 9 months out of it?

Answer summary

Yes, with a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa), you can exit and re-enter Thailand as many times as you want within the visa validity period, which is 6 months from the issue date. Each entry grants you a 60-day stay, and by exiting just before the 'enter before' date on your visa, you can extend your stay up to 9 months through timely exits and a subsequent 30-day extension for a fee.

cannot be obtained at Immigration. Thai embassy/ consulate in home country, country of residence or alternatively Australia. Some reports are suggesting its also available in KL now as well for non residents.

This visa is only given when you have residency in the country, an Thai Embassy in Australia did it without residency papers and there is one report it could be done in Kuala Lumpur without residency.

Yes you can enter/exit thailand as much as you want for the validity of the visa itself (6 months from the date it's issued) and you'll get stamped in for 60 days every time you enter.

Now whether you get 9 months out of it or not totally dependent on you. You need to exit/re-enter thailand just before the "enter before" date stamped on the visa itself which gives you another 60 days and then extend that entry by 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht.
