Am i right in thinking i will be given 45 days visa exempt when i arrive in bkk on 25/11/22 ?....and can i either apply for another 45 day extension, or can i do a land border bounce, or would i get another 45 day by flying out and back ? ( i want to stay in thailand for 90 days)

TLDR : Answer Summary
You will indeed receive a 45-day visa exempt entry upon arriving in Bangkok. However, you can only extend this visa for an additional 30 days once, bringing your total stay to 75 days. To stay in Thailand for 90 days, you will need to do a border run or apply for a tourist visa before arrival, which grants an initial 60 days plus a potential 30-day extension.

You'd have to do a border run to get 90 days. Otherwise can only get a 30 day extension

You're partially right.

You will get 45 days visa exempt entry, but you can only get a 30 day extension one time. That is 75 days total.

Why not just get a tourist visa before you come here? It's easy to do it all online with evisa and then you'll get stamped in for 60 days and you can get a 30 day extension, there is your 90 days.
