What are the best long-term visa options for an American expat wishing to live in Thailand?

Larry ******

It's very easy to stay 11 months without worries if you time it right. Come around June 5th with a 60 day tourist visa, extend it for 30 days, then do two land border runs with extensions for an extra 4 months. That should then take you right to the beginning of January when you can then do 2 more land border runs with extensions. Voila!
