TLDR : Answer Summary

When entering Thailand, if you are from a visa-exempt country, you can receive a 30-day stamp upon arrival without needing to fill out any forms. There is no application required for this process. However, if you are from a Visa on Arrival country, you will be granted a 15-day visa, and you must apply and pay for this visa beforehand. Additionally, the TM6 form previously used for arrivals has been discontinued.

Visa on arrival is not 30 days, it's 15 days. You are probably asking about visa exempt which means no visa at all.

No there is no application or forms, you just hand your passport and boarding pass over at passport control and they'll stamp you in for 30 days if you're from a visa exempt country.

An application is only needed if you're from a Visa on Arrival country where you apply for and pay for a visa for 15 days.

you were lucky then because they have been asking at bkk and asked everyone in front of me for their boarding pass as well, pain in the ass as some have on their phone and have to hunt for it.

There are also signs up asking for it.

I told you. Your passport and boarding stamp. If your don't look undesirable that's all you need.

They're legally able to ask you to show 20,000₿ or equivalent in another major currency in cash only.

Proof of your exiting Thailand within 30 days.

Proof of your first hotel lodging.

But those are all rare
