TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen entering Thailand on a Visa Exempt stamp is allowed a 30-day stay, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht. There is confusion with Visa on Arrival which is not available for US citizens; those eligible for it can only extend for 7 days with the same fee.

As a US passport holder you receive a 30 day visa exempt stamp upon entering Thailand, this can be extended by a further 30 days at your local immigration office for 1,900 baht.

It might be because you may be mixing those two, visa-exempt and visa on arrival.

US passport holders enter Thailand on visa-exempt (without any fee or application to enter Thailand). It is eligible for 30 days tourism extension once for 1900 baht fee.

Visa On Arrival (you pay 2000 baht fee to apply for VOA to enter Thailand at the entry point) is not available to US citizens. If someone (with one of 17 nationalities eligible for VOA) enters on VOA, it's not eligible for tourism extension and can get 7-days-to-leave-the-kingdom stamp for 1900 baht.
