There is nothing other than rumours that the visa exemption is to be changed. So you should arrive and obtain 60 days exemption. This can then be extended at your local immigration office. If you want to travel to other countries why not do that at the end of your visit?

Immigration are about to reduce the cost initial visa exemption from 60 to 30 days, might have problems depending when you arrive. Applying for a 90 day visa before arrival gives a better chance but entry is at the discretion of the immigrant officer either way.

Hua Hin extension requirements listed

Normally, when entering Thailand, you get a 60 day visa and when you want to stay for 30 days more, You have go to the Immigration Office In the area same as your TM.30 and the documents required -TM.7 application form
