Answer summary
If you're looking to stay in Thailand for six months, there are several visa options available depending on your circumstances. A multiple entry tourist visa could allow you to stay a maximum of 270 days in segments of 60 days. Alternatively, if you're over 50 years old, a Non-Immigrant O visa may offer another possibility, allowing for a 90-day stay, with the potential for extensions or combination with a Single Entry Tourist visa. It's advised to explore personal eligibility requirements and possibly consult the Thai Embassy for detailed guidance.

Visit the website of the Thai Embassy in London, there are several options like a multiple entry tourist visa which is valid for 6 months and gives you maximum 270 days of stay in sections of 60 days OR look at the possibilities of a Non Immigrant O visa based one being over 50 years of age, which gives you 90 days of stay and then a combination with a Single Entry Tourist visa from a Thai consulate in the area or an Extension of Stay if you like to stay longer. This is not really a page for the question, what visa is the best. There are to much personal details needed to make that decision for you, a little self investigation is needed. If you have a specific question about one visa feel free to ask again

That all depends:

1.Is this your first time coming to Thailand?

2. Are you 50 years old or older?

3. Do you have a Thai wife?

4. Do you want to work or study here?

Jerry G. Shepherd, I'm sorry, but I don't have time to walk you through each visa Thailand offers. You can go to the consultant website (Hull, I think), or go to the Thailand immigration website that outlines all the potential visas. If you see one that fits your needs, feel free to ask questions. It shouldn't be too difficult
