Presentation still counts when making requests...
One way is to apply for a non-o visa;
Another is scootering through a hotel lobby into a pool at a law enforcement conference.
Both result in being allowed to stay longer than 60 days without those bothersome border bounces.

Something strange here. The questions this person asks are strange. Also, this person never answers a question we ask. I feel as if we are being played by this person.

while this, of course, didn’t actually answer the question, at least it was witty and  had a little bit of humor in it, without being snarky and ugly, like some of the other people here. Thank you for that.

@Frankie ******
That was not recently. Its there for about 3 years. Its called Long term residence visa (LTR). Some vlogger just found out about it and start posting as if he had big news. No he didn't. Haha.
Pui *****
@Frankie ******
no such thing. You're likely referring to the LTR visa, which isn't that new and isn't a golden visa.

student visa easiest to get. some nationalities do need to exit some doesn’t. 12-15 months visa. you can apply for muy thai or thai language courses range between 45-60k baht. and every 3 months you need to go to the immigration which took almost day to get visa extension stamp. with 1900 -2000 baht.

Student visa - language, cooking, thai boxing etc... ( there fixed it for grammar nazis ) Can do the visa while in country when you enroll in schools. They will do it for you. Just research the school there are alot of visa mills here that just do the visa and dont really teach much. Its on the student to assure they attend classes as required per the visa

DTV Visa it is 5 years visa dtvthaivisa.com
Pui *****
@Thatchaya *****
that doesn't meet the OP's specifications as you must exit every 360 days, assuming you extend the 180 days for the additional 180 days allowed one time. Given the cost of that specific extension, many people choose to leave and come back at 180 days. The OP wants a visa where he doesn't have to leave for over 1 year.Thatchaya ******
About costs he did not say anything.
Thatchaya ******
It says 1 year in the post. Thus, the expections from the OP are met if you extend it.

Elite visa, LTR visa, non-B visa among others
