"who claimed he simply bought two ( 30 or 60 days I don't know) tourist visas from a consulate in his home country"
Of course, he bought a double entry tourist visa, which will give him 2 x 60 days inside the country (each entry can be extended for another month @1900 baht), this visa is valid for 6 months, which means that he must make sure to use his last entry inside this 6 monhts.

RE#9,
"BY AIR AT LEAST".
No , the average tourist will be let in at the land borders including Cambodian border . Even if they ask you for ticket and you don't have one they will still let you in.
"IF THEY MAKE ME BUY TICKET".
No , in your case they will not make you buy ticket , or threaten to deny entry.
