TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is contemplating whether to apply for a multi-entry tourist visa or to simply obtain the 30-day visa exemption upon arrival in Thailand for their upcoming trips. Commenters suggest that due to the limited duration of stay, the user should utilize the 30-day visa exemption instead of applying for a multi-entry tourist visa, which would not be necessary for their travel plans.

With that short of time in thailand I'd say you'll be fine coming in on a 30 day visa exempt entry that you get when you enter the country.

There's no need to waste the money on a 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa Or even a single entry tourist visa for that matter (which would give you a 60 day stamp) because you're only here for 6 days..
