Is it legally possible to stay in Thailand for up to 5 years on a DTV visa by extending and doing border runs?

If someone stays for 180 days on a DTV visa, extends it once for another 180 days, and then does a border run to re-enter — is it legally possible to repeat this process and stay for up to 5 years?

I'm only asking about the legal possibility of doing this.

Taxes and other responsibilities — I'll handle those separately.

If anyone knows for sure, I'd really appreciate your insights! Thank you so much! 🙏

So I have a thai wife and daughter, in thailand. I am American, currently in America. I am 48 and just got approved for my disability benefits beginning in December. I have been told many different ways to get visa to stay in Thailand but would like to hear what people here think would be my best option. Thanks.
