No matter how long you "think" you're going to stay

, As a general rule IF you're gonna get a single entry tourist visa from the thai consulate in your country before you come here you're going to need proof of onward travel within the time you'll be stamped in for so you can get your Certificate of Entry approved. SO on a tourist visa you're gonna be onward travel within 60 day.
It is consulate specific so check the requirements at your consulate when you apply for the tourist visa.
