What is the best option for long term stay?

i were told by the thai embassy in my original city i lived.

you can apply the spouse visa as your wife is a thai(i am over 50) Furthermore, the local district officer understand the term completely. The requirement for me is to put 400000b in bank acc.

i believe someone have misunderstood my meaning. I think no personal interest is involved for her advice. I feel they would like to do less work as this kind of visa is more simple.

Find a Thai wife and get a non-immigrant O visa or if yr over 55 years you could qualify for a retirement visa non-immigrant OA50

50, not 55 for retirement.
