TLDR : Answer Summary
USA citizens are visa exempt for stays up to 30 days in Thailand. However, travelers may be required to show 20,000 Baht in cash, proof of onward travel, and accommodation details upon entry. Additionally, visas can be extended for another 30 days at an immigration office for a fee.

If you stay in a private house you need to report your address to your Immigration office as well.

NO, you need proof of onward travel. Not an idea of maybe one day within the next 60 days I move my ass and if lucky enough i pass a border.

ORIGINAL POSTER@Robert ******
OK so as long as I let them know I'll be heading out, (but do not have a fixed date as yet) they will be ok with that?I have rental House. Do they require more than an address?
Robert *******
proof of onward travel is that you leave the country within the period of stay you get on entry or with added 30 days as Immigration knows you can apply for an extension of stay.

ORIGINAL POSTERWhat if onward travel is by land border (North to Myanmar, or South to Malaysia)

As US-citizen you will be visa exempted for a stay of up to 30 days. The stay can be extended at any immigration office by another 30 days for 1900 Baht.
