TLDR : Answer Summary
An American traveling to Thailand for the first time can make multiple entries within sixty days, as they receive a 60-day visa exemption upon each entry. It is advisable to have proof of a return ticket to avoid complications at immigration. You can also apply for a multi-entry visa online, but it may not be necessary given the free 60-day entries. Remember to file a TDAC each time you enter Thailand.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Once you enter Thailand you get 60 days to stay with a 30 day extension if needed. Once you leave and come back you get a new stamp for 60 days, you can’t use that same previous stamp. You can also apply for the multi entry online but you have to pay for it and it’s not necessarily worth it because you are going back home and will have proof of that ticket back home. Plus you’re getting a free 60 days each time you enter Thailand so just enter Thailand stay for however long and then go do your traveling and come back but be sure to have your ticket back home because then they will think you are trying to live or work in Thailand

Shouldn't have any issue at all doing "tourist stuff" in S/E Asia using Thailand as a base of travel. It's done all the time.

US passport gets in for 60 days free stamp (visa exempt) each time you enter. Your planned travel sounds normal and wouldn't raise flags stamping into thailand multiple times at all.

Remember you need to file a TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) each time you enter the country using the online web-portal
