TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can enter Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa without the need for an onward flight ticket, as having a stamped visa negates that requirement. However, some airlines might still ask for an onward travel proof, and policies can vary by airline and country of departure. It's advisable to check with your airline before booking.

To board the plane - yes, it negates the need to show a flight out but you may need it for your application for a tourist visa to begim with (some embassies ask for it, some dont).

 You can buy bus ticket to Lao for $20 online -- skip the whole headache. Worst case is you will not use the bus ticket and you are out $20.. I have heard good and bad things about 'rent airline' ticket - and so I can not recommend it.

 Yes in fact they do. But that's not the airline's concern, they are concerned about entry requirements, and those do not include onward travel requirement when you already applied and are awarded any kind of stamped visa. And not many embassies actually require proof of onward travel either.

If you have a valid visa in your passport, there is NO onward travel requirement, the embassy might ask you if you apply for the visa, an airline has no legal ground to ask you, as the travel requirement only exists for the 30 days visa exempt stamp, if you have a stamped visa, no such requirement exists.

 Sorry to hear that, of course they have no right to refuse you boarding on that basis, as with an SETV or a non O there is no ticket out requirement, hence it cannot possibly be used to deny someone boarding. Big fat compensation claim would be feasible if an airline ever did try to do just that .
