If I apply tourist visa multi entry is it right I need to fly out every 60 days? If yes do I need to stay outside the country few days or can I take first flight back? But can stay 6 months? And I'm going to stay with my gf in her house so what about this tm30?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, with a multi-entry tourist visa, you are required to leave Thailand every 60 days. You can either exit the country or apply for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office. There is no specific amount of time you must stay outside Thailand before returning, so you can take the next available flight back. Regarding TM30, your girlfriend, as the house owner, should file it for you online, which is a quick process.

Be aware that the multiple entry tourist visa generally costs around 5x that of a single entry tourist visa. On application you’ll need to provide proof (as in multiple flights) that you need the multiple entry. Otherwise they may just issue you the single entry visa and won’t refund the difference.

 Somehow I get the idea that Thailand doesn't much LIKE people to come and stay there as it seems so very complicated (and expensive) to do so...

 Trust me - its not even remotely comparable to what people from Asia have to go through to get into UK or USA or even to get a visitor's visa!

 Yes. They’ll want to see proof of needing a multiple entry visa. Different embassies may have different requirements but this is certainly the case for London.

Yes but you can also extend every stamp for ฿1,900 at your local immigration office and get 90 days before a border bounce

 yes. However if you were to bounce out and back just before the visa expires you can get nearly 9 months from that visa.

 thought tourist visa only lasted 6 months? Or when you get extension it doesn't count on visa days?

 The visa is valid for 6 months. Each and every entry gives you 60 days. That means if you enter say 2 days before the visa expires for your final entry then you’d get 60 days on entry and can extend that for 30 days at an immigration office.

You can either leave Thailand at the end of 60 days or apply for an extension of stay for 30 days.

There is no minimum amount of time you need to be out of Thailand for. If you can find flights that suit you can head straight back.

The house owner should file the TM30 for you. If that’s your gf then get her to sign up to the online system, which once registered only takes a couple of minutes to file.
