TLDR : Answer Summary

The law regarding the number of days a tourist can stay in Thailand is flexible, with no written maximum limit on duration per visa type or extension. However, there are restrictions on visa-exempt entries: a maximum of two entries per calendar year by land/sea, and no limit when entering by air. The final decision on entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer.

There are no written rules about the limit on how many days MAXIMUM you can stay in Thailand on which type of visa/extension.

There is a limit of two times per calendar year for visa-exempt entries by land/sea borders.

There is no limit to visa-exempt entry by air. But it all depends on the immigration officer who handles your entry at passport control at your entry point if your entry is approved or not.

BTW, as you are Israeli, you entered Thailand on visa-exempt without a proper visa, not a visa on arrival.
