What are the best strategies to extend my stay in Thailand for up to 12 months on a tourist visa?

Mitchell *******

Instead of doing border bounces, you might try to actually VISIT another country for a couple weeks. You are trying to live in Thailand on tourist entries. It would also help if you actually travelled around Thailand.

How can I obtain a long-term visa to stay in Thailand for a year as a tourist with an invitation letter?

Mitchell *******

You are asking the wrong question. You cannot do anything on a tourist visa except be a tourist. You are needing to get the correct visa for the purpose of your visit. Whoever has given you your letter should be helping, or at least pointing you in the right direction.

What are my options for a border run from Kai Bae to Cambodia and back with a visa exemption extension expiring soon?

Mitchell *******

I honestly would try and find a flight to Kuala Lumpur for a few days. I must say that leaving a border bounce to the last day is a recipe for disaster.

Why won't hotels in Thailand match online prices when asked directly?

Mitchell *******

I was going to state that there are many varying types of deals the hotels will have with sites like booking etc. But I Think the bigger the chain, the better chance of getting a better deal directly from the hotel.

How does a single entry TR visa stay period work with a re-entry permit in Thailand?

Mitchell *******

Besides all the other comments...

If you are planning to leave in 30 days, you may as well enter visa exempt. That gives you 30 days. Then you leave, and then you can reenter for a NEW 30 day exemption. Note you can extend the 30 day exemptions by 30 days at immigration.

What should I know about driving permits when living long-term in Thailand and visiting my home country?

Mitchell *******

Why would you not keep your home country license? That is more "legal" than your Thai one.

How can I navigate the onward ticket requirement for a visa to Thailand?

Mitchell *******

Also, if you have a return ticket say 6 months later, the airline may not care as much, since they don't have to house you, just transport you back on the next available flight. You may have paid for a business class return, but if you are sent back, they can put you in a middle seat in row 59.
