Your best bet for a long term stay is an elite visa, which gives you between 6 to 21 years in Thailand. You can find more information at

Or obtain an investor visa with a deposit in a Thai bank of 3 Million Thai baht. Allows for up to 10 years stay in Thailand...5 years + 5 years.

You must be age 50+ to obtain an O-A retirement visa.
...you could obtain the Thai Elite visa ...allows 5 years stay in Thailand. Fee is 500,000 Thai baht

I suggest you obtain a 6 month METV multiple entry tourist visa. With planning you can get up to 9 months stay in Thailand.
