TLDR : Answer Summary
The 45-day visa exemption in Thailand can only be extended once for an additional 30 days. It is important to note that this extension is only permissible once. Individuals entering Thailand under this exemption can re-enter under the visa exemption rule only twice in a calendar year if done through land borders, and there is no official limit for air entries, although frequent attempts may lead to increased scrutiny from immigration officials.

Just fly to Singapore or vietnam for a couple of nights and you start again

I intend to enter on a 45 day on arrival then extend for a further 30 . I have a Thai wife and child what will that give me with regard to staying in Thailand after that
so sorry, but if you have a legitimate Thai wife and child you should be very familiar with the correct procedures and how to access the official information. Do your research. This is a start, but can be deceiving and confusing.

yes - and it will be denied and you usually get 7 days denied stamp
the 2 time limit is only for land border crossing, per calendar year. There is no official limit by air, but the more you do it, the higher your chances of passport control using their discretion to hassle you and/or deny entry.
that's NOT a visa. It's called "visa exempt" meaning NO VISA AT ALL. A visa is something you apply for and pay for.

I'm done dealing with idiots who don't know what they are talking about. Anyone else that wants to argue about what a visa is or isn't, and what visa exempt is or isn't, will just be suspended from posting for a few days so they stop giving incorrect information.
There is no such thing as 45 day visa on arrival. Visa on arrival was changed to 30 days from 15 days for the few countries that are eligible for Visa on Arrival which is where you apply for and pay for a visa when you land. Visa exempt means NO VISA AT ALLL, you are exempt from having a visa.
you're so wrong about semantics. The Thai government has something called a visa on arrival which has completely different rules and qualifications and length of stay from visa exempt entry. They are totally different entry schemes that have nothing to do with each other.
Not really, the clue is in the name, you are exempt from needing/using a visa, so they put a stamp in your passport, a no-need for a visa, visa exempt stamp.
it's not semantics at all. Using the wrong words could easily cause someone to go into overstay or somehow break the law because they used the wrong words in a question and got an incorrect answer
