How can I go from the American side to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls?
My friends told me that Niagara Falls look better from Canada but my bus will stop at the American side. Can I walk over a bridge or take any public transportation to the other side?
Also, as a non-citizen, do I need Canadian visa for crossing border and going around the falls?

It depends if you are USA citizens or not. But nevertheless, this site has some useful tips and further links that will provide you with all necessary information for both cases.
btw... this FAQ make me really laughing:

Can you see the Canadian falls from the American side?
The American side of Niagara Falls is in New York State. There are three sections of Niagara Falls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. You can see them all from the American side, though you can only get close up to Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side.Can you walk across the Rainbow Bridge without a passport?
No. Rainbow Bridge, despite its unusual location, still functions as a regular border crossing. Therefore, if you want to have a walk on the bridge, or use it to visit Canada, you need a valid passport with you. Otherwise, you will be denied entry.NIAGARA FALLS What side is better? USA vs Canada

Answer 2
As a German citizen I usually have a visa waiver for the US for 90 days. This allows for side trips to Canada and Mexico (which are counted in the 90 days).
So you can just walk over the bridge, spend some hours or days on the Canadian side and then walk back into the U.S.
Having said that, this may not apply to a Thai citizen.
