Answer 3

You are visa exempt for 30 days at no cost.  If you want to stay longer you can apply for a tourist visa that is valid for 60 days and can be extended once at an immigrations office for an addition 30 days at a cost of 1,900 baht.  Or after your 30 days are up you can do what is know as a visa run to a near by border, i.e. Cambodia.  cross the border and return and get an additional 30 days.  Tour agents can arrange these visa runs.  You can do this twice for a total of 90 days in Thailand.  I recommend the tourist visa if staying longer then 30 days.
