Can I book a return ticket for 60 days when entering Thailand under the visa exemption rule?

The original poster is interested in traveling to Thailand on a visa exemption for 30 days and extending it for another 30 days. They are uncertain about the requirements for booking a return ticket, particularly if it could be for 60 days. Community responses indicate that while it's technically possible to book a return ticket for 60 days, many airlines may still require an onward ticket or return flight for the initial 30 days of stay. Multiple suggestions were given, including renting an onward ticket or buying a low-cost bus ticket to a neighboring country as a workaround. Overall, there is a consensus that the main issue lies with airline policies, and having a return ticket for 30 days is often safer to avoid complications during check-in.
