What is the best visa option for an Australian retiree wishing to spend long periods in Thailand?

Al *******

We split our time between Thailand and the US - six months in each and each year I get a non imm o-a multi entry visa in my home country. It does keep my visits to local immigration to a minimum - 24 hour and 90 day reporting only, and I can keep my money in my home country.
