I gave you the answer earlier.

METV with some border runs.

 

There are other options such as ED visa etc .

Buy a PE visa and stay 5 years etc.

You know all the options. 

Why keep asking

You have also received posts along the lines ...,"ignore the tax" 

It's irrelevant to your thread

This tax nonsense is all off topic.

Just concentrate on the Visa advise and forget all the other BS.

Why would you Stay for a year? When you could travel the whole year around SE Asia

@Jack1988

The METV (multi entry Tourist visa) is valid to enter Thailand for 6 months.
Each entry permits a stay of 60 days, which can be extended for a further 30 days at Immigration, before doing a border run for a further entry.

It's possible to stay in Thailand for almost 270 days with the METV.

 

You could then do a couple of further border runs and re-enter visa exempt, granting a further permitted stay of 30 days, which can be extended a further 30 days.

That would bring you approx a year in Thailand.

 

If you have deep pockets, you could also consider the multi entry Elite visa.
Valid for 5 years, each entry permits a stay of 1 year.

 

Knowing your nationality and age may determine options.

Is this only with a tourist visa or also with other type of visas? I've never heard about that before 

It's an aggregate of 180 or more. The type of visa is irrelevant. 

(Added) Except for three of four categories related to Long Term Resident visa that specifically tax exempts foreign income.

This is ridiculous 

Americans are taxed for worldwide income subject to Tax Treaty limitations and income tax exclusions.

Foreigners come to live in Thailand also for not pay tax. Why should I pay? I can stay at my country then, Thailand is being too expensive. I want to avoid to give my money to the thai government 

Stay in your home country then.

If you continue with this you're going to create a lot of trouble for all of us. Pay your taxes on the basis of your own situation, and leaveus to do the same.

Let them pay tax, up to them. Just don't stress us, it's irrelevant for me

This 180 day rule applies in most countries. Thailand didn't enforce it till now.

Officially, you can but immigration will make it difficult when you reenter. Check you have enough funds and say that you're not a tourist.

Someone said "ridiculous " having to complete a tax form. If you are out of UK for nine months of a tax year, you become tax excempt so Thailand can tax you.

Finally, consider insurance. Normal UK insurance companies will not cover you over six months and accidents do happen.

If that's correct why even post your OP.

You would be aware of the options and have already been covered in thread. 

Move on
