Do I need to apply for an ETA before arriving in Thailand as a US passport holder?
Coming to Thailand January 6th, US passport holder, do I need to apply for an ETA before I get there?
Answer summary
US passport holders do not need to apply for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before arriving in Thailand. The need for an ETA has been suspended indefinitely. Upon arrival, they will receive a visa-exempt stamp allowing them to stay for 60 days, with the possibility of extending their stay for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office.

Yes. They need to know your ETA (Estimate Time Arrival) so they can roll the red carpet

The need for an ETA has been suspended indefinitely. For a US passport you don’t need a visa for a stay of 60 days or less. 90 days if you get an extension at a local immigration office.

Maybe

You can stay up to 90 days visa exempt. 60 days initial stamp at the airport and 30 days extension at a local immigration office.

If you mean the ETA (not the eVisa) it's been postponed indefinitely
