Tourist visas can be valid for up to 10 years & can be very difficult to get at all. Especially for those married to a US Citizen. The ability to enter the US & length of stay is set by the officer at the POE not by the embassy issuing the visa.
To even attempt to get a tourist visa people need to study the " strongest ties" rule. All holders of any type of visas are considered intending immigrants. Therefore they must prove their ties to their country that absolutly requires them to return. USCIS considers those ties to a husband if a Thai tries to enter the USA & the husband is a USC.
The embassy in BKK has been very reluctant to issue these tourist visas but with the correct background ties it can be done. Many are denied these days.
