Hi, I am a Singaporean and i recently applied for a tourist visa at the Singapore Thai Embassy and it is free of charge. Does the same rules appies to other countries and foreigners too? I saw some of the posting and was informed that a visa fee need to be paid so I am confused. Anyone can help?

As far as I am aware, as a Singaporean you were entitled to a 30 day permit on arrival in Thailand without charge. A longer stay visa, say a tourist visa enabling a 60 day stay should attract a fee. What period of stay in Thailand is permitted ?

passport holders from 39 countries do not require a visa when entering Thailand for tourism purposes if their stay in the Kingdom does not exceed 30 days.

singapore is on the list for an on arrival visa

If memory serves, citizens from ASEAN countries can get a free 60-day tourist visa when traveling to another ASEAN country. When my Thai wife and I went to Singapore on business last year, she wasn't charged either. Of course ASEAN countries also have the 30-day visa-on-arrival agreement, so I don't think a lot of ASEAN passport holders avail themselves of a tourist visa.
