ORIGINAL POSTER
it is funny because the first time, i apply for a visa, i asked my Embassy in Canada wich visa to apply! they said a E-visa for the three months, i did that to not having the stuggle to go to immigration! I tought by going on certified channel like the Thai Embassy, i would have the good answer! I knew about the 2 moths and 1 month extexion, but i did not want to make a trip to the immigration! Anyway, a lot of you spoke to me like i was a fool or don't know anything about Thailand! That was my first post and my first entry with a visa! The last then years i came here for two months or lest! I also had remarks about my writing, and yes i speak French and try my best to have a comprehension way to post! Some people are very blessing and i don't know why, you have more experience then i do!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience applying for a visa for Thailand, initially receiving confusing advice from the Canadian Embassy. They mentioned that they were told to apply for an E-visa valid for three months but misunderstood the conditions of the tourist visa, which only allows a stay of 60 days, extendable by 30 days at immigration. Several commenters clarified the validity and application process of tourist visas, highlighting potential misunderstandings about the E-visa and emphasizing the importance of visiting immigration for extensions.

Ambassade Thai, Immigration, Anglais, e-visa, c'est un peu "confusionnant " pour pas dire beaucoup mais c'est la Thaïlande. Comme l'a mentionné John Macom, l'ambassade ne vous ca donné aucune infos.

Votre post n'était pas vraiment précis à part que vous voulez éviter d'aller à l'Immigration et que certains membres n'étaient pas gentils ce qui est le propre de la plupart de groupes Facebook.

Si vous voulez demeurer moins de 90 jours la manière la plus simple est d'aller à l'immigration. 30 minutes plus le temps d'attente et 1900 thb pour obtenir l'extension de 30 jours. Vous n'avez pas donné assez d'infos pour que quelqu'un vous dirige sur un autre chemin. L'avenue facile mais dispendieuse pour vous en sortir est de communiquer avec une agence de vidlsa près de l'endroit où vous aller être. J'espère que ça aide

Jean-Marc, quel est ta question?

Just to clarify, “e-visa” just means you apply for the visa online. Since all visas now need to be applied for online, all visas from tourist to retirement are “e-visas”. Therefore, if the embassy told you you apply for an e-visa, they really gave no advice on which one to apply for.

If i’m understanding what you’re saying you will still have to make a trip to immigration if you are staying longer than 60 days for a tourist visa

A tourist visa is valid for 90 days and gives you 60 days on entry, which you can extend at immigration for another 30. It’s not a visa that lets you stay for 90 days without going to immigration.

thiaembassy.com is a commercial website run by Siam Legal and has nothing to do with the Thai government. Is that the website you are referring too?

The answer from the embassy was correct. The visa ( it is the document allows you to enter thailand ) is valid for 3 months for you to use it. A Tourist visa then allows you to be stamped in for 60 days. You can extend that by 30 days.
