TLDR : Answer Summary
To holiday in Thailand for 5 to 6 months, you typically need to obtain a Tourist Visa, which allows for an initial stay of 60 days, with the possibility to extend for an additional 30 days. You can also consider a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV), enabling stays of up to 9 months through multiple entries. It's advisable to review your home country's embassy site for specific requirements and restrictions.

That is best done with regular tourist visas. Get one upfront, extend, plan a trip to a nearby country after 85ish days, get a new tourist visa there in addition to the sightseeing activities, and if you stick with 5 months you're then set, otherwise you can extend and reach 6.

As an alternative, you could just hop across a border when the first 90 days run out, get 30 days coming back, and extend those. That'll get you to 5 months as well, but going beyond requires a second trip to a border.
