Immigration may ask for proof of onward travel and funds of THB 20,000 (around EUR 520) per person, though this is rarely checked for European passport holders.
The 60-day visa exemption can be extended once at any immigration office in Thailand for 30 more days. The extension fee is THB 1,900. If you want to stay longer than 90 days total, apply for a 60-day tourist visa at a Thai embassy before departure. That visa costs EUR 35 and can also be extended for 30 days in-country.
