Remember that when you have a 60 day Tourist Visa (which can be extended for another 30 days) it expires when you leave for the other destinations (unless you applied for a re-entry visa before leaving the country).
You will have to ask yourself what is preferable. Pro and cons depend on your schedule.
You get 30 days upon arrival each time if you arrive at the airport.
You can consider a schedule like this:
Day 1-59 Arrive on TR
Day 60 leave for HK
Day 65 Arrive on Visa Exempt
Day 75 Leave for Manila
Day 80 Arrive on Visa Exempt
Day 90 Leave
Day 1-29 Arrive on Visa Exempt
Day 30 Leave for HK
Day 35 Arrive on Visa Exempt
Day 64 Leave for Manila
Day 69 Arrive on Visa Exempt
Day 90 Leave
Probably the visa exempt schedule is easier as you don't have to apply for a TR. But if you want to stay longer than 30 days in a row, a TR is necessary.
As said, it all depends on your preferences.
They are many possibilities.

Dr.Love, thanks. I don't have any restrictions or schedules. I am 100% free like a bird for this three months. In that case, you are're sayng that 30-day is the best option? Now I only have tickets to BKK (from USA). I will buy other tickets once I decide what I am going to do - Tourist Visa or 30-day.
Also, I supose that rule about 90 days in 6 months or something like that for 30-day visa exempt does not exist anymore, right?

If you can do a schedule like the second one, 30 days is the best way.
The 90 days rule does not exist anymore.
As I said, the only consideration to make is how long you want to stay in a row. Over 30 days, then a TR is required. If under, then the visa exempt will do.

Dr. Love, I don't have any preference about how long I want to stay in a row. You're an experienced guy in Thai affairs. How would you prefer? Is that any pros and cons of staying longer/shorter time in a row?

60 days in a row might be too long for you. However, maybe you can make a better apartment/hotel deal if you stay for 2 months instead of one.
Option #2 breaks the periods nicely and you don't have to apply for a TR.
I would pick #2.

Agree with DL,
I now work a schedule of 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off. If I don't get a visa before I go back, I must leave with about 2 weeks left before I go to work, either fly somewhere or take a ground trip which gives me the 15 days. I usually have somewhere that I want to go, and as DL said, after about 30 days you will probably want a break, even if it is only for a few days. When I was there for 6 months with no particular schedule, I did two 60 day single entry visa's and always left weeks before they were finished (the second one it was free because the TAT was trying to boost tourism) But I think you will have no problem with just doing 30/30/30 especially since you will probably spend a week or so in HK / MNL.

There is a discussion thread on the flyertalk.com Delta Airlines forum where a self-described backpacker and his friend were denied boarding by Delta gate agents.
He had a Delta RT ticket to BKK where the return date was over 30 days from departure. The agent stated that Delta policy prohibits boarding of passengers whose travel dates exceed 30 days and the passengers do not have a visa.
Turns out the passenger had a separate itinerary for BKK to KUL travel within the 30 day stay, but had not purchased the ticket. He claims that even after offering to purchase the KUL ticket, the gate agents stated he still would not be allowed to board.

I could see an airline refusing to board passengers who could not prove that they had purchased onward travel out of Thailand within 30 days.
I think the passenger either pissed of the gate agent, or changed his story one too many times.

Many times it is a lack of training on the part of gate staff, particularly if you are in a airport that does not originate many overseas travelers.
A couple of years back I was stopped briefly by a United Agent because I did not have a return ticket or visa on a trip to Singapore.
The fact that I had a Singapore IC and a valid reentry pass stamped in passport did not seem to make him understand that I needed neither a return ticket or a visa.
A call to the IK desk however brought the Station Manager out to look at my passport and educate the agent on proper procedure.
I hate to think what would be the case if I were not a 1K traveller...
