muchas gracias
"Gracias" is the all-around "thank you / thanks", but if you want to be emphatic, then the following are better choices:
muchas gracias = thanks a lot (literally 'many thanks')
muchísimas gracias = thanks a ton (quite emphatic)
mil gracias = thanks a million (literally 'thanks a thousand', but this is just how it's said in Spanish)
Good luck!
