I am 61 years old and from the USA. I have come to Thailand every year for the last decade, barring the Covid shutdown. I married a Thai National in September of last year. I want to liquidate here and stay with my wife in her home for an extended period of time. I know that nothing is permanent for a foreigner there and there will be departure requirements. I’m trying to figure out the best VISA for my first entry for a longer term. I was thinking a 6-month multi-entry might be best for starters; Either that or a 60 tourist with 30 day extension at immigration.

In addition, what are my medical insurance options other than buying a travel insurance plan prior to leaving? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
