If you do not have a Thai spouse then you would probably only get a single entry tourist visa. Good for 60 days, can be extended for another 30 days.

If you are 50 plus,what you are.You can try to take the mutiple non O.But I am not sure if they give this visa in nearby countries like malaysia or Singapore ,will probably be reluctant.In your homecountry it will certainly do!Or a bit bigger chance in Asia but a bit further away ,like India I think you have a chance for getting one.If this doesn't work out ,the only possibility will be the single tourist visa,which you can get at almost every consulate around(only avoid Cambodia and Myanmar).

Multi entry non immigrant O visa issued in Singapore with evidence of 800k or more in a bank account and over age 50.

That money does not have to be in Thailand.

Your US account will suffice.

And then there's Malaysia's 'My Second Home' program. But then again a lot of people here wouldn't consider Malaysia
