ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The best visa options for retired parents from Canada wishing to stay in Thailand for 4-5 months include the Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) for 90 days, which can be extended for an additional 30 days, and the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) that allows for stays of 6 months, requiring a border run for re-entry. The METV requires a minimum of $15,000 in a bank account. For a more suitable option, they might consider applying for a retirement visa with adequate income documentation, which could allow for a longer stay.
