You can have as many tourist visas as you want, there is no limit.

You can also make use of visa exempt entries if you travel to Thailand for les than 30 days and have a ticket out. The visa exempt entry requires no visa and is free. But you can only have 90 days on these in a 6 month period. (90 days doesn't count in combination with a visa). So after 3 times on a visa exmept entry you can come on tourist visa's and then again on visa exempt entries.

Know a few guys who work 28/28 offshore outside Thailand and they are in and out on 30 day visa waivers, providing you get your timing right and not exceed the 90 days allowed in country in 180 then you will be fine without a tourist visa

You can use the 30 day visa exempt entry method as long as you stick to the rotation you describe.

You will not reach the 90 days total in 6 months that would keep you from entering again.

A 60 day tourist visa would not work very well in your case. It would really be a waste of time to get one.

If you are in your home country you could try for 1 year multiple entry O visa. I have heard of people getting this using a letter saying they are doing a rotation such as yours and using Thailand as a home base for their rotations.
