How does the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for Thailand work?
How does the METV visa work please
Answer summary
The Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) is valid for six months from the date of issue. Each entry into Thailand allows for a 60-day stay, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office. Travelers must enter Thailand within the six-month validity period and can continue to receive the 60+30-day stay as long as entries occur before the visa itself expires.

Stamped into Thailand for 60 days on every entry whilst the visa is valid, which is 6 months from the day it's issued.

Thai embassy London "Multiple Entry Tourist Visa will be valid for 6 months from the date of issue. Travellers must enter Thailand within the validity of visa, and they will be permitted to stay in Thailand not exceeding 60 days for each entry within the period of 6 months from the date of arrival in Thailand."

METV is valid six months from it’s issued and each time you get stamped in within this six months period you’ll get 60 days upon entry which also can be extended with additional 30 days at your local immigration. If you get stamped in short time before the visa expires you’ll still get 60+30 days and can stay almost for nine months.
