I just got off the horn with the Thai consulate in Edmonton, all I have to do is bring in my passport with 2 recent photos and proof of flight purchase, fill out some paper work and pay $40, they'll stamp my passport and I'll be good to go for 60 days.
Ask if they have the 60-day double-entry visa available and you can stretch this for 6 months.
Here's how it works:
Enter
Stay 60 days.
Go to Chiang Mai Immigration to purchase a 30 day extension.
Stay 30 days.
Go to closest border - Myanmar (a one-day event). All you have to do is step over the border, get your stamp, and your second entry activates.
60 more days.
Another 30-day extension at Immigration.
Leave the country to purchase another double-entry visa (Vientianne Laos was the best place when I lived there but it changes)

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
