TLDR : Answer Summary
A community member inquired about alternative visa options for frequent visits to Thailand while working on a yacht for several months each year. They currently use the METV but are exploring better options, noting concerns about using the METV twice a year and not wanting to opt for the Elite Visa due to future business aspirations. Suggestions from commenters included considering a DTV visa for those with medical grounds and meeting financial criteria, as well as exploring options in other countries like the UAE.

If you got medical grounds you could get a DTV. Assuming you meet financial requirements
