Cardiff Consulate is very friendly, I would suggest either the triple entry or consider an ED visa, the ED Visa only requires 4 hrs of study per week.
Tourist Visa or ED will require border runs.

We weren't planning on working in Thailand unless there was a visa that would make it possible to stay longer if we did.  Looks like we're going to go somewhere else where the rules aren't so ridiculous.

"2nd best time to plant a tree is today."  Sent from ThaiVisa app.

We planted one almost three years ago for all the good it did.  I'm sorry, I don't want a Thai boyfriend and I'm not over 50 and all the money I've spent in the country for the last two years is worth nothing.  I'm not "desperate" enough to bend over backwards getting tourist visas when we can be refused entry just because a Thai immigration official is having a bad day.  There are other places to live that have a similar climate.  Maybe if the non o rules are changed in the future things will be different but for now I think there are better options out there.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

I would try for a triple entry tourist visa.  If used properly you can get almost 270 days with just two border runs.  Another option would be ED visa, but you would have to find a school, enroll and, most likely, pay in advance to get the paperwor necessary to obtain the visa.

If we went for the triple entry do you know whether we would likely be awarded another triple entry on our return back to the UK?

Thanks for your advice.  I've been doing some freelance writing work on and off for years and I'd be willing to try my luck with a non B in Hull.  Maybe I could start up a Thai travel website between now and then - maybe that would do me some favours?  I'm just wondering whether they'd be a bit sceptical about both me and my husband applying for a non B for the same thing.  

I'd rather keep away from the double entry tourist visa if I can as I've heard stories about people getting their four months + 2 one month extensions and then being told they can't return to the country.

Do you know if Hull is still the best consulate to get a visa from or if Birmingham or London would be more lenient?

They didn't answer when I phoned - might have been because it was 3.50pm and they shut at 4 so if my parcel doesn't arrive tomorrow I will try phoning again and let you know.
