If you are from the UK, you can get a visa from the Hull consulate

This can be a multiple entry non-immigrant visa, valid for one year.
When you enter Thailand using this visa, you will get a 90 day stamp, which can be extended for a further month at any immigration office. Then you need top leave the country and return, same day will do, to repeat the procedure. So in one year, you need to leave twice.
From anywhere else a multiple entry non-immigrant visa is hard to get, so you might end up with a tourist visa, which will get you a 60 day stamp, extendable for a further 30 days. If its only single entry, then you need to apply for another visa once outside the country, or, return and get a 30 day stamp,but the new regulations specify that you cannot do this repeatedly.

the new visa rules are a tourist visa is good for 30 days. Or before you go you can get one from the thai embassy for 60 days. Then you have to leave the country only to return and get another 30. Totaling no more than 90 days in the land of smiles. After 90 days you have to leave the country for 90 days.
This new law went into effect the 1st week of October so after January we will see if it is going to be seriously enforced. This is Thailand.

According to the new Thai Immigration Regulations, and if you come from an eligible country, you can enter the Kingdom without visa for a period of 30 days. At the end of these first 30 days you must exit Thailand (even for one hour) and return for another 30 days. At the end of this second period of 30 days you must exit again and you can return for another 30 days. That's a total of 90 days after which you must stay out of Thailand for 90 days before being allowed to return.
The simplest way is to secure a multiple entry visa of 3 months in your country of origin BEFORE you leave.
To live more permanently in Thailand, you can obtain a retirement visa of 1 year, provided you are over 50 years old and have a minimum verifiable revenu (or cash in a Thai bank) of 800,000 baths (approx. $21,000 USD) per year.
You can also obtain a 1-year business visa if you have employment in Thailand.

The earlier answer is correct - however, if you actually have a job you can get a work visa. This will require you to pay taxes etc. Or marry a thai and you get a longer term visa.
There is also a service for visa extension trips - you get on a bus, drive to Cambodia border - enter there, return to thailand with new 30-day stamp. You see this service posted in almost all tour shops in thailand.

Tourist visa for most countries is 30-days free. As for longer stay, best to check on the new regulations that came into effect 1 Oct 2006 with the embassy in your country.

If you have mony, you can stay in Thailand for ever. Visas can be bought .
But for citizens of most countries, a stay of 30 days is stamped at the airport on arrival. On expiry of the 30 days you have to leave the country and re-enter for further 30 days. This can be done repeatedly every month, until some smart immigration officer notices you. Then you have to pay him to silence him.
