What is the best visa option for Australian retirees staying in Thailand for a year with strategic border runs?

OP said Australia. Non O retirement visa, 90 days to sort out bank account and 1 year extension. Multiple entry (1,900 THB) I think it would suit them. That what I am on.

Non o if old enough

Onestop

The non-o based on retirement and extend for a year is the way to go if you want to stay a year without any drama you won’t get two 30 day extensions on two exempt entries in the same year

DTV

Look at The 5 year DTV

LTR is the best visa in my opinion.

Especially the wealthy pensioner if you qualify. Not a single down side.

Just go with the non-o over 50 and get 1yr extension. No need for border bounces or other manipulations.

Buy the 6 month month METV you can get 9 months out of it with a strategic border bounce in the last few days

60 day stamp, extend for 30 days at ฿1,900 at your local immigration office

Border bounce, microcation minication vacation.

Return 60 day stamp extend for 30 days at ฿1,900 at your local immigration office

Last few days do a border Bounce

Get stamped in for 60 days extend for 30 days for ฿1,900 at your local immigration office

There is no limit on the amount of METV Visas you can buy back to back

These do not count against your 2 border bounces per year

Good luck

What country from? What age? 50yr old is the magic number for retirement visa
