TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is looking for visa options for a stay in Thailand from December to mid-August. Comments suggest several possibilities including; applying for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV), which can be extended by doing visa runs, or considering an Education Visa (ED) which may require remaining in one location. Other factors mentioned include having certain conditions like being over 50, married to a Thai national, or having sufficient financial resources.

You can get up to 9 months out of a Multi Entry Tourist Visa if you use it wisely.

Need to apply for it in your country of residence.
