TLDR : Answer Summary
To stay in Thailand for 6 months, consider applying for a 6-Month Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV). This visa allows you to stay for extended periods, and if managed with proper border runs or extensions, you can extend it up to 9 months. After 3 months, you may need to leave Thailand and re-enter to utilize the multiple entries.
Get the 6 month Multiple Entrance Thai Visa (METV) if you can meet all the requirements...with proper border runs/extensions you can get 9 months out of the 6 month Visa
Okay, you're in the US now holding a US passport with plans to travel here next year. SO you should get a hold of one of the thai consulates that can sell you a 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa.
That means go to the website of the thai consulate in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles or Washington DC and read the requirements to get a 6 month METV (multi-entry tourist visa).
