I've read conflicting information, i'm coming from the U.S. and i would like to stay for 2 weeks, do i need to apply for any kind of visa or do i have an automatic entry if under 30 days?
Answer summary
If you are a U.S. citizen planning to visit Thailand for two weeks, you do not need to apply for a visa in advance. Upon arrival, you will receive a 30-day visa exemption stamp, allowing you to stay in Thailand without the need for an additional visa.

Not conflicting at all. Just come to Thailand and they will stamp you in 30 days visa exempt.

no, just come on over, get visa on arrival, but 2 weeks is about what it takes to get over a 12 hour jet lag, then the cultural adjustment, it's then time to go home.

My 1st trip was 2 weeks, stayed 4.

It’s not Visa on Arrival, it’s Visa Exempt. No visa.

There's no conflicting information. If you have a US passport you can get a 30 day visa exempt stamp if you arrive without a visa
