What are the current visa options for travelers arriving in Thailand from Australia in May 2023?

Correct. It's a multi-entry, so each time you enter you are stamped in for 60 days, right up to the date of expiry. And each 60 day entry stamp can be extended a further 30 days. My favoured tipple is any Single Malt from Islay, preferably Laphroaig.

Ok let's do the hypotheticals. You apply for the visa and the six month validity of the visa (the sticker in your passport) is June 1 to December 1. Let's say you enter Thailand on June 6 (the closer you enter to the visa start date the better for you). You are stamped in for 60 days which is August 4. Sometime in July you go to immigration and get a 30 day extension to September 2. On or about September 1 you border bounce, re-entering Thailand on the same day. You are stamped for 60 days until October 30. Some time in October you get a 30-day extension until November 30 (Keep in mind your visa is still valid until December 1). On or about November 29 you border bounce and get stamped back in for another 60 days until January 27. (Your visa has now expired but your entry stamp is still valid).Sometime in January you get a further 30 day extension until February 26. So you have effectively been in Thailand from June 6 until February 26, which is about seven days short of nine months. Your time is then done. If your husband thinks a friggin Samsong will cover this wealth of information and knowledge, tell him he's dreaming 🤣

Provided you make your last entry before the visa expires, you get stamped in for 60 days and can extend a further 30

@Sharlene ******

It has a six month validity, but each time you enter Thailand you get stamped in for 60 days, which can be further extended another 30 days. So two strategic border bounces gives you almost nine months

@Sharlene ******

Yes
