30 days, of course, but...

If I get stamped into Thailand on Apr 1st at 12 noon, say, is my last
day in Thailand April 30th, or is it the 31st, provided I get out
before noon? Thanks.

I am convinced "days" are discrete in this respect. The arrival date is the
day number one (1) in the 30 day frame regardless the precise time you are
arriving in the kingdom (and go through the immigration booth). There are
only 30 days in April by the way. Anyways, the first day is on 1st April and
the 30th day on 30th April (you must be through the passport control
23:59:59,99), so since (and including) 1st May you have passed the 30 day
limit and are subject to fines for being illegally in the country.

Yup! I have often arrived and been stamped by immigration at 11:50pm
or thereabouts. That counts as the first day. On the few times I've
gone through at 12:01am or later, I get an extra day.
