I am going to say don't listen to this guy. I think the advice is bad. See: http://www.thaivisa.com/visa-overstay-thailand.html http://www.thaivisa.com/visa-overstay-thailand.html You can keep re-entering the country as a tourist and get an extension from what I've seen. There are a lot of places that do visa runs over the various borders. I would advise being very mindful of visa issues and respecting the laws. It's very easy to get around and get visas, but don't play around with the expiry. If you do plan to stay longer term, figure out a proper visa.
