    You could do this:

    Thread t = new Thread(() => myFolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog());
    t.IsBackground = true;
    t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
    t.Start();
    t.Join();
    
    var path = myFolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath;
    

    But there is really zero point in the thread, it achives the same as this:

    myFolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog();  //this will block until the user presses OK or cancel.
    var path = myFolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath;
    

    Personally, I would do this:

    Using (var dialog = new FolderBrowserDialog())
    {
        //setup here
    
        if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.Ok)  //check for OK...they might press cancel, so don't do anything if they did.
        {
             var path = dialog.SelectedPath;    
             //do something with path
        }
    }
