TLDR : Answer Summary

A multi-entry tourist visa for USA passport holders is valid for 6 months, allowing stays of 60 days per entry, which can be extended for an additional 30 days within Thailand. It's important to note that no visas can be obtained on arrival, so applications must be completed prior to departure from the USA. Additionally, US citizens can enter Thailand without a visa for stays of up to 30 days, with the possibility of a 30-day extension in-country.

As a US citizen you don’t need a visa to enter Thailand for a stay of up to 30 days. You’d get a visa exempt entry. You can extend that once for a further 30 days in country. So it depends how long you plan to stay as to whether it’s best to buy a visa before arriving or just turn up.

You can't get ANY visa on arrival. If you want a visa for your visit you need to do it before departing your home country.

The multiple entry tourist visa is valid for 6 months. On each entry you get stamped for 60 days. You can also apply for an extension for 30 days inside of Thailand on each entry. Time things right and you can get almost 9 months out of the visa.
