TLDR : Answer Summary

A multi-entry visa can be used for unlimited entries until its expiration date. The date specified on the visa indicates the last day you can enter the country using that visa. Once the visa is stamped in your passport, it is considered activated.

ok. It’s activated the day it’s issued. You can enter Thailand as many times as you like up until the valid until date. Each entry you’ll get 60 days and you can extend that once at a local immigration office or do a border bounce and get your next 60 days. If you time it that you do a border bounce on or just before the day it expires you can get almost 9 months from that visa.
