I'm getting there on a 60 day tourist visa next week.

I visited once before 2012 and have an unused multiple entry 180 day visa on my passport from last year. Will this unused visa pose any problems/questions?

And this time I want to stay indefinitely. How many visa runs can I, as an Indian passport holder, expect to realistically be able to do?

Are Indian nationals available for the Elite Card (500k Baht) program?

Thanks

Your unused expired visa will not be a problem. But getting another visa nearby could be a problem because some embassies and consulates will not do a visa for an Indian citizen.

As far as I know the Thai Elite program is has no restrictions based upon citizenship. See: http://www.thailandelite.com/index.php

Any specific information about which consulates will not do visa for Indian?

The Jack Golf company seems to do this for Indians as they list a specific price for Indians.

Thanks

i think Jack golf only did border runs when they were in business.

Vientiane has not been doing them some time now. I am sure Savannakhet is the same. See: http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/docs/Restricted%20Countries%202013.pdf

Kl or Penang may do them. You should contact the them to see what their policy is.

Would Burma be a better option?

You would have to contact the embassy in Yangon to get an answer to your question.
