Thanks for all the responses to my questions..I have yet another..my exit date when I entered is Nov 9....since it looks like I may have to leave and reenter for the 90 day..what is the latest I should wait to do it...I don't want to waste a month or so that I have already...am I correct in my thinking...and must I go back to the U.S. to apply or can I do Laos or Philippines? Thank you in advance.

They are also inquiring whether they can apply for a Non-O visa while in nearby countries like Laos or the Philippines instead of returning to the U.S.

You have to exit on or before the 9th of November. To apply for the Non-O you just need to go to any country of your choice that allows non-residents to apply. Laos is a popular choice but pretty much any nearby country works

I meant get 60 more days without applying for 90 day. Again I am assuming no.

there's no official limit but every entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer you will stand in front of. If they think you are abusing the system to live in Thailand they will deny you entry. Visa exempt is designed for short term tourism, people get denied even on their 2nd entry although its more normal to get a warning

what stops people from just continuing to do that..besides it's a hassle..I assume there is a limit to how many times you could do it.
