How to apply for Thai tourists visa
Answer summary
To apply for a Thai tourist visa, you can use services like VFS Global in Chennai, India. It's important to note that a single-entry tourist visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance, allowing you to enter Thailand within that period. Upon entry, you will receive a stamp for 60 days. If you are an Indian passport holder, extensions are limited to a 7-day extension for a fee at immigration, instead of a 30-day extension.

NO, IF you have a tourist visa before you come here you will get stamped in for 60 days, BUT indian passport holders cannot get a 30 day extension on their single entry tourist visa, only a 7 day one.

FWIW: there is no such thing as a 30 or 90 day tourist visa. :O
Single entry tourist visas to thailand are VALID for 90 days from the date they're issued <- meaning you have 90 days to ENTER thailand when you will be stamped in for 60 days.
Single entry tourist visas to thailand are VALID for 90 days from the date they're issued <- meaning you have 90 days to ENTER thailand when you will be stamped in for 60 days.
