How does a tourist visa differ from an exempt stamp during immigration in Thailand?

Bob *********

No difference, they are looking at total number of days you stayed in Thailand during the year and how many times you left for a day and came right back.

What are the experiences and challenges of entering Thailand as a tourist or visa-exempt traveler?

Bob *********

no difference. If you'ee there over 180 days total in a year, or have done back to back visa exemptions or tourist visas more than 2x without visiting somewhere else then you are trying to live there without the proper visa. You will be questioned

How can I spend 2 to 3 months in Thailand with a German passport while in India?

Bob *********

Step 1: put your German rule book aside. Step 2: decide how would the American do it. Step 3: the American would just hop on a plane with out a visa or return ticket ($14 onwardticket if demanded). Step 4: Stay for 60 day visa exception then fly to the next Oktoberfest in Penang Malaysia or Bali, Indonesia, then come back for more Thai beer

What are the best visa options for an extended stay in Thailand without prior arrangements?

Bob *********

Don't bother with extensions, you want to look like a tourist using Thailand as a home base to see Asia. Best to leave every 60 days and visit Malaysia, Indonesia or Philippines for a few days and then come back. Border runs are a waste of a whole day and waiting in line at immigration will test your patience.
