Is there more than one was to say "Hello" in Thai? I say "Sawaddee(kha)" when saying "Hello" in Thai, but I also heard a friend of mine say "Sawasdee" and "Sawadeejaa" Also I heard if can be "Sawat-dee".. Is there more than one way to say hello?

-kha is a polite female suffix to sentences (-khrap for male) and should always be used in formal situations and to elders. -jaa is an informal, affectionate suffix to sentences, and can be used between friends or to younger people. "Sawasdee" is a literal spelling of the Thai word, but the ending 's' is pronounced as a stop, so the correct pronunciation is "sawat-dee". "Wat-dee" is Thai people being lazy (informal), as Thais like to shorten words xD

Your own way sounds correct and polite. I think stick with that! :) I greet one friend with "wad dee", but this is only because we are VERY close friends. It'd be too impolite to other people... like saying "Eyyy wassup bro?" to people I don't know well. If any of the "s" characters come at the end of a word, they're pronounced as a "t".
