Quick question....from uk..can a person with a 3 month ticket..go without a visa..get 30 day on arrival..30 day married to a thai then a 30 day border run.....
Answer summary
A UK citizen with a 3-month ticket can enter Thailand without a visa and obtain a 30-day Visa Exempt Entry. They can also extend their stay for 60 days based on their marriage to a Thai citizen. However, they may encounter difficulties with their airline when checking in for a flight with only a one-way ticket and no visa in their passport. It's advisable to verify the airline's policy regarding travel to Thailand without a visa.

You're going to have far more problem with your air carrier checking in for your flight on a one way ticket with no visa in your passport than you will once you get here.

Unless of course you have a history of living here on back to back visa exempt entries or tourist visa entries, when you could be questioned by passport control stamping in.

Check with the carrier bringing you here to see what their policy is when you're flying with no visa for thailand in your passport and no proof of onward travel

If its a return ticket the airline won't question the lack of visa. If asked just say you are planning to tour SE Asia & are using Thailand as a start/end point
