Can you get a tourist visa upon arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport before exiting immigration?

As an Aussie passport holder you can get 30 days free visa exemption when you arrive (or leave and re-enter) by air or land, extendable 1 time per entry 30 more days at any immigration office for 1900 baht, or do a relatively simple border hop for 30 more days plus again optional extension. Current restriction maximum 2x visa-exempt LAND border hops per calendar year, but by air no fixed limit. OR go to a neighbouring country (Laos, Malaysia, Cambo) and get a Tourist visa from Thai consulate, which gives a 60-day entry plus (again) optional 30-day extension. Happy New Year =)
