Can a US passport holder get a visa on arrival in Thailand or do they need to apply for a visa?

Phil ******

they are the rules. Whether your asked is another question. In 13 years never been asked although as your flying without a visa the airline might ask for proof of exit with 60 days. I have ben asked twice to provide this even though had a visa

Don't forget to register your tm30 within 24 hours too although most hotels do this.
