TLDR : Answer Summary
Russian nationals on a METV can initially get 60 days upon arrival. Extensions for 1,900 THB are generally possible, but it's advisable to check with the local immigration office, as policies may vary. They can extend for 30 days, and by performing a border run on the last day of their visa, they can obtain another 60 days, and this can also be extended for another 30 days, potentially totaling 240-270 days in Thailand.

1 - get 60 days on arrival ?

-> Yes.

2 - 1900 thb extension possible ?

-> Yes. But I would check the local policy at the immigration office where to stay to be sure can get it for every entry. (most likely yes, but there are 80+ offices nationwide)

3 - extension for 7 or 30 days ?

-> 30 days.

4 - if make border bounce on the last day of visa, can get 60 more days, which can be extended again (total 240-270 days)?

-> You will be stamped for 60 days on every entry on or before the "valid until" date on your visa sticker. It's eligible for 30 days tourism extension.
