TLDR : Answer Summary
The APEC card offers benefits such as expedited customs clearance and provides holders with a visa-free stay of up to 90 days in Thailand.

You can get 90 days on entry. I do not believe you can get an extension of stay or an in-country visa though.

No, you need a Thai Pass to enter Thailand. You do not need a visa.
