Visas (for the purpose of this discussion) are applied for and issued outside of Thailand and generally in your home country. You will need to apply with the Thai embassy or the consulate near you. The processing time should be under a week and there may be a small fee.
Visa waiver stamps (entry without a visa) is granted to certain nationalities (including yours) for a period of 30 days upon entry. No other paperwork than filling out an arrival card is required. For a fee and a "small" inconvenience these can be extended for 7 days.
Again, if the length of your stay is 30 days or less, don't bother with a visa. If you will be staying for more than 30 days, do the visa thing back in your home country.
