You do not apply for the re-entry visa in the US, you will do that in Thailand.
More reason to avoid the re-entry visa.
Since you're planning on visiting Thailand for a total of 45 days I'd suggest you do as Mario2008 suggests and apply for a tourist visa in the states. This visa will then be used at your first entry, granting you 60 days of stay. As soon as you leave Thailand this permit to stay will be canceled. On your next return to Thailand (after your first excursion), you will then be granted 30 days of stay if you arrive by air, but only 15 days if you arrive by land. So planning your trip and modes of transportation will be useful.Perhaps I should shuffle my excursion to Indonesia with Cambodia as I might (there is a chance) I take the crossing on land from Cambodia and since my subsequent stay in Thailand would be the last (no more excursion after that) and it "might" exceed 15 days (or borderline), I might get in trouble. But if I switch my last excursion from Cambodia to Indonesia, it would definitely be via a flight and grants me a 30-day stay rather than 15.

1. The duration of your trips to countries outside Thailand is immaterial. It is the duration of your stay in Thailand after each arrival in Thailand that matters regarding Thai visas.
2. From your limited information about your travel itinerary it appears that your first stay in Thailand will not exceed 30 days and your subsequent stays will not exceed 15 days but that you will fly to Thailand with a return ticket with a date for your flight out of Thailand later than 30 days after you first arrival by air in Thailand. In this situation, you need a visa to be allowed to board your flight in the USA and as has been said you should get a single-entry tourist visa.
3. With a travel plan as indicated above, you do not need a re-entry permit. If after your first stay in Thailand you plan a subsequent stay of more than 15 days you should get a re-entry permit from any immigration office in Thailand. The applicaton form can be downloaded here in PDF format.
I'm planning to stay in Thailand, upon my first visit, for up to 10 days, travel to Indonesia for a few days then come back to Thailand. Upon staying for another week, I'm traveling to Philippine for 5 days, returning back to Thailand for a week. Then fly to Cambodia for 2 or 3 days then back to Thailand for the remaining of my stay (total 45 days). All travels will be arranged via flight.
As I said, at every re-entry to the Kingdom, my stay would not exceed more than 30 days (flight). So just to reiterate, I need a tourist visa (single entry) due to the fact that the date of the return on the ticket exceeds 30 days from the date of my arrival but do not need a multiple re-entry visa due to the fact I won't be staying more than 30 days in Thailand while I have my excursions to different countries in the region.
Thanks for the TM.8's PDF format.

You would get 30 days each tme you travel to Thailand by air and 15 days you travel to Thailand by land. So if you plan it will it wouldn't be a problem. But if you travel to Thailand without a visa, the airline would like to see a ticket out of the country within 30 days of your arrival.
Best is to apply for a tourist visa in the US before your travel, they are free at the moment.
Thank you for the response.
My question is, first, what constitutes a short-time leave from the kingdom, 3 days, 7 days? Second, should the re-entry visa form also be submitted along side the tourist visa in the U.S. or it is only processed once you get to Thailand (Bangkok)? Finally, I'm using MS 2007 and the format on the re-entry visa .doc file is in such a way that words have been cut off horizontally. Is there another source to fetch TM.8 document?

Hi,
I would like to know whether I need to apply for any type visa if I plan to spend 45 days in Thailand with occasional excursions to other countries in the region, i.e. 15 days in Thailand, then a few days in Cambodia, another 10 days back to Thailand, then a few days in Indonesia then again back to Thailand (total adds up to 45 days), etc.?
P.S. I am an American (30)?

So if they refuse to extradite him, is he going to be tried in the UK or is he off the hook? Think about the poor family of the victim who has to travel back and forth to Thailand and UK while they live in America just to seek justice.
Do I Need Any Visa If I Make Excursions?

Yes, as I said, hopefully all the excursions would be by air. Notice I said hopefully as there might be a slight chance of entering back to the Kingdom from/to Cambodia via land but it is slim. Nevertheless, it's something I would like to consider and plan ahead in case there is a change of itinerary.
That's why in my last comment, I mentioned that I might switch Indonesia trip (the first excursion) with Cambodia (the last one) because flying to/from Indonesia would give me that 30 day permit as I might beat that 15-day last stay in Thailand by a day or two (10 Thailand + 1 week Philippine + 1 week Thailand + 3 days Cambodia + 1 Week Thailand + 2 days Indonesia ~ 29 days which leaves 45 - 29 = 16 days so if Cambodia is the last excursion and I come by the land, I'll get that one day extra. unless I trim a day from my last trip to Thailand or extend one day to either of my excursions but that can easily also be arranged).
Thank you for your help.
