TLDR : Answer Summary
A family of four is planning a one-year stay in Thailand and is seeking visa advice. Recommendations include checking the Thai eVisa website for options based on nationality and purpose of visit. The DTV visa is suggested as a potential option, especially if not working or if children are not attending school.

Nobody can tell you that without a lot more information. Nationality, ages of all, purpose of visit and so on. Start by researching the appropriate visa options on the Thai evisa website

You dont say if you will work or what you are coming for. You need to check the thai visa site. To see what you qualify for. Chances are you wont be coming.

The easiest for a year is the DTV for a family. Unless you are putting kids in school and getting guardian visa through them but that will be expensive.
