TLDR : Answer Summary
Peter Beckwith inquires about the easiest long-term visa for Thailand and specifics about the tourist visa duration and requirements. Respondents suggest that the Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV) is a viable option, offering 6-9 months of multi-entry validity, while the NON-O visa can be applied for 90 days initially, with extensions available if financial requirements are met.

non IMM O visa 90 days, then transfer 800k baht to Thailand, let it season for 2 months and apply for year extension 1900 baht. After extension is granted then buy a multiple re-enter permit 3800 baht

Non O 90 days from Thai Embassy Australia. Then if you can meet financial requirements you can get another year and keep getting year after year if you keep meet the requirements

Note: After the first 90 days and on extension of stay to leave and come back you need to buy a multiple entry permit.

Easiest would be the METV gives you 6-9 months multi entry depending when you extend.
