Am here on US visa exempt 30 day. Just extended thru immigration for 1900 baht. How many times can I extend thru immigration? I know about border bouncing and have done many.

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can only extend your stay once per visa exempt entry in Thailand. After that, to continue your stay, you would need to exit and re-enter Thailand (a process often referred to as border bouncing). However, if you've made frequent entries recently, or if you've been in Thailand for extended periods, this method might not be effective anymore. Also, there is a limit of two land border entries per calendar year.

Get the right visa for the length of stay you want, before leaving home.

Just one such extension per entry. You'd have to border bounce again, if that still works. If the "many" you refer to are recent, and you've stayed in Thailand for many months in the past year, it may not work. There's also a maximum of two land border entries per calendar year.

You can get ONE 30-day extension per visa exempt entry.

Yes, every Visa Exempt entry stamp can get an extension but you can only get 2 land border Visa Exempt entries in a calendar year
