TLDR : Answer Summary
For US passport holders aged 50 or older looking for a long-term visa to Thailand, several options are available. The OX visa is noted, as well as the Long Term Resident Visa, which is targeted at wealthy pensioners and offers a 10-year validity. An alternative is the Thailand Elite Visa, which is more expensive but provides a long-term stay. Discussion highlights the financial criteria for these visas and mentions the affordability of the yearly NON-O visa, which costs 1,900 THB annually.

As well as the OX, there is also the Long Term Resident Visa for wealthy pensioners, which is ten years. Unless you're Australian the financial criteria for the OX is heavy. LTR might be a better option
