On Visa exempt on entrance going into thailand, then Cambodja, re-enter overland, some sources say you only get 15 days...other 30...?
Answer summary
The duration of stay for visa-exempt entries into Thailand is generally 30 days, regardless of the point of entry (land, sea, or air). However, this can vary based on the passport held and discretion of immigration officials. For land border crossings specifically, travelers are allowed only two exempt entries per calendar year.

You’ll see various websites that state 15 days for a land border visa exempt crossing. That rule changed in 2016.

Now it’s 30 days whether by land sea or air. The only difference is that by land you only get 2 exempt entries per calendar year.

Russians have a different entry scheme called a visa waiver and that has never had the restriction of two land border entries in a calendar year. Indeed now they get 90 days on arrival (if they choose to) but that entry cannot be extended, nor can it be changed to any other visa type within Thailand.

Visa exempt is 30. Visa On Arrival is 15 (for most eligible countries)

that's bilateral agreement / visa waiver, not visa exempt. They cannot get an extension on that type of entry.
