WRONG. your all wrong. you need a visa to entry Thailand however it is a visa on arrival, no need to apply. the visa on arrival is good for 30 days. Opps sorry spanky you were answering the same time i was.

On entry, American s are given 30-day visa free pass. Any stay longer than the 30-day, have to buy a visa permit at the immigration office for max up to 60days tourist pass.
Or, he can do a visa-run as some calls it. Before the 30-days, take a trip out to Thailand, say to Laos or Cambodia and return next day into Thailand with a fresh 30 day free pass again.
This can only be done for a max of 90 days total stay in a 6-months period..

If you arrive in Thailand with no visa you get a 30 day tourist entry stamp. You can leave the country and enter every 30 days and get a new stamp. But you can only stay 90 days out of 180 days using this method. After you have used up the 90 days out of 180 you would need a visa to return before the 180 days. A single entry tourist visa is good for 60 days and can be extended for 30 days (cost 1900 baht for extention). I just returned from four months in Thailand yesterday. I had a double entry tourist visa (60 days, must exit country, 60 more days). Both of my 60 day periods could have been extended to 90 days.

OK, folks. There are a lot of answers off the mark.
This is from
If you are going to do any work (i.e., get paid) in Thailand, you will need a Non-immigrant visa, which costs USD 50.00 for US citizens. I'm going next week on business to Thailand with my wife, who will be a tourist. We are both US citizens; I have a non-immigrant visa and she will enter Thailand without a visa.
Different rules and laws apply for other nationalities.

Well, you cannot stay legally at all without a visa.. An American will get a 30 day visa at the airport on arival. It is free. They are supposed to be renewable by leaving the country, even for a minute at one of the border crossings and then coming back in.. You can do this 2x for a total of 90 days... there are other visas available, such as work or retirement or longer stay tourist visas.. but it is best to check with the Immigration Office at soi Suan Plu in Bkk and they will give you your options.. good luck

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand has equally old-world appeal and modern convenience offered up in an apparently disorderly manner, but generally with a thoughtful smile, see more with Hotelbye . At 1,600 square kilometres and counting, Bangkok is major, and the many different parts can be bewildering. In Bangkok you can look at the Grand Palace, one of the must-see with this city. The Grand Palace was integrated 1782 and for 150 decades your home of the Thai King, the Royal court and the administrative seat of government. The Grand Palace of Bangkok is a Grand old dame that continues to own visitors in awe with its wonderful structure and intricate aspect, all of which is really a proud salute to the creativity and quality of Thai people.

On the generality of your question Spanky is most correct.
I am living in Thailand and have a retirement visa that allows me to stay and not leave the country should I wish not to do so. IF I do want to leave, I need a re-entry permit or my retirement visa is voind on re-entry and I get a 30 day VOA..and have to start the process over.

Rick's right. The rest range from ludicrously inaccurate to nearly but not quite right. Here's the government web-page on the topic:-
