Hello all, I'm going back to the U.S. in October. Can I re-enter Thailand on a one-way ticket when I return, as I'm not sure when I'll go back to the U.S. again?
Answer summary
The post discusses whether it's possible for an expat to re-enter Thailand with a one-way ticket after traveling to the U.S., highlighting that entry might depend on the type of visa held (such as a retirement extension, or a Non-O visa) and the discretion of the immigration officer at the point of entry. Community members suggest being prepared with a refundable ticket, sufficient funds, and knowing the visa rules to avoid complications.

It's always a good idea to get a refundable ticket just to cya.

People are not asked for proof of onward travel when on an extension of stay like the O/P has

If you are going back to Phuket shouldn't be a problem. But any other port of entry the IO could ask. Depends on his attitude

Any airport will stamp him in using the re-entry permit and his Extension of Stay. No need to go to Phuket.

Yes, if you come back they will stamp you in again till 7 March 2019.

Depends on the airline and/or what visa you have.

Can you? Yes. But if the IO officer asks to see a return ticket you could be denied entry. Also better have 20k baht in cash on you.
