TLDR : Answer Summary

An Indian national planning to visit Thailand for 18 to 20 days from December 15 to January 2 or 3 will face challenges with the Visa on Arrival (VoA) option. The VoA permits a maximum stay of 15 days. Comments suggest it is advisable to obtain a visa in advance as the VoA can lead to long waiting times and may require proof of onward travel, funds, and accommodation. Additionally, it's mentioned that Indians cannot extend their VoA except in exceptional circumstances. Some suggestions include getting a tourist visa prior to departure, although this may require documentation such as income tax returns.

OR

you could get a single entry tourist visa from one of the thai consulates there and that would stamp you in for 60 days.

okay, then you did NOT enter on a tourist visa you entered on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp. AND Malay passport holders are NOT limited to TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year like most people. You can come across and get 30 day visa exempt entries as much as you want to.

IF you can't meet the requirements to get a single entry tourist visa from a thai consulate in India before you come here you're only option is a 15 day visa on arrival for 2000baht when you stamp into the country. You may be required to show proof of onward travel (within 15 days), proof of funds and proof of a hotel booking.

You could get a 7 day application for extension denied stamp at the immigration office that gives you one more week to leave thailand for 1900baht.

Actually tell you what, you are better off with a visa before travelling because visa on arrival you may have to stand in the airport queue for hours. I travelled with an Indian friend of mine & he said never he will opt for visa on arrival
