Yes, a SETV is the best option for you,its 60 days,after that a extension on a immigration for 30 days more (1900 bht,) and then make a cheap flight out of Thailand,and you wil get 30 days and again you make a extension for 30 days more
No, it's still easy, you just need a ticket out of Thailand, but they now have a limit of 200 applications a day, so use a visa agent, it only costs small money.
