TLDR : Answer Summary
A Tourist Visa for Thailand is generally a single-entry visa with a validity of 30 days. If you exit the country before the 30 days are up and wish to re-enter, you will need to apply for a new visa. Alternatively, for more flexibility, you might consider a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV), which allows for multiple entries within a six-month period, but you still receive 60-day stay permits per entry.

You need a METV for unlimited entry and exits

It's a 6 month multi entry tourist visa. You will still only receive 60 day stamps that can be extended to 90 days and require leaving the country atleast 1 time to use the full 6 months.

you shouldn't have posted this picture. As this visa-category doesn't exist any more. There used to be double-entry tourist visa, and triple-entry tourist visa. They got discontinued and were replaced with 60-days single entry tourist visa and 6-month multi-entry tourist visa. Both categories of todays tourist visa will get you stamped in for a 60-days stay permit

I'm not sure what you are asking either, You're generally allowed to stay for up to 60 days visa free, per visit. A short-term tourist visa is generally only good for a single entry.

If you want to enter and exit the country within 30 days, I'm afraid you'll have to apply for a new one. It's a single entry valid for 30 days.

 it means multiple entry tourist visa and costs substantially more. In Australia the single entry is $60 for the METV it's $300 but different Consulates around the world have different prices.

 I think she doesn’t realize that they don’t put that sticker in your passport anymore from the US. She doesn’t appear to know about the E Visa program and I think she posted the photo just as an example. Actually that entire Passport has expired since they’re only good for 10 years.

 Visa rules change so much can't keep track of them. You used to be able to cross the border every 30 days and get a new visa unlimited amount of extensions they didn't care if you win every month I did it for about 6 years before I got married.

 a 60-days single entry tourist visa you got issued after you applied for it in the E-Visa online system, gets you stamped in for 60 days. You can extend it for 1900 THB on Immigration for 30 more days. Then before the expiry of the 90th day, you will need to exit Thailand. You can then re-enter visa-exempt (without a visa) and will get stamped in for a 60 days stay permit (at least until now as nothing was changed, yet) and you can also extend these 60 days stay permit with 30 days one more time. After this I would say your chances to repeat it are coming to zero
