WHAT IS YOUR AGE ?

I use to do the same - you need a 6 month multi entry visa 👍

What age are you?

You might have to rethink part of your plan; TH is not open season for anyone and any number of entries.

There are restrictions same as any other country really. But its a multi layered system, just depends what you can compromise on/how much money you want to throw at it.

I know a guy who is working in the oil industry, living in Thailand and had bought himself a Elite visa. He told me that was the only way to get in and out Thailand without any restrictions.

Im on an OA visa from Australia I purchased a multiple entry FIFO 6 times a year

It is highly unlikely you will be able to do any number of visa exempt entries (even with proof you're flying out in 2 weeks) before you're denied entry to the country

I'd say see if you can qualify for an OA or OX visa from the thai consulate in Sydney based on being over 50. Those visas are multiple entry and you'd be able to come in/out all you want without any scrutiny

OR

Worst case get a 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa, which is valid for 6 months from the date it's issued and good for unlimited entries of 60 days each during that time.. That'd get you in/out fairly easy,
