there are no free visas for thailand. Only a visa exemption which isn't a visa

multiple-entry tourist visa. It will give you 6 months to come and go as you please with a maximum stay of 60 days (extendable by 30) per entry.

There is no law or rule limiting visa exempt or tourist visa entries. You can do it until you can't. For some that's 6 or 7 entries in a short span, for others in 2 or 3. You are correct though, if youre going to come regularly, get the proper visa for it

There's only 2 times you will pay for a 90 day report. 1) if you use an agent. 2) if you fail to report on time.

And yes, first report needs to be in person

no problem, there is another route you can take if you are determined to come by visa exempt or tourist visa before applying for the DTV. You can contact an agent such as

just go direct for the DTV. Even with an SETV you could be pulled out of line, questioned and then denied entry. Its upto you what you do, but personally I wouldn't risk it as a visa doesn't guarantee you entry, it only increases your chances of being allowed to enter

You're flagged in the system and each time you enter now without a visa or even with a short-term visa your chance of denial increase 10 fold. I suggest looking at a more long-term visas before returning such as the DTV
