Can I schedule my return flight for day 85 and do I need to book a hotel for 90 days upon arrival in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers from the US to Thailand can have a return ticket scheduled for day 85 of their 90-day tourist stay as long as they do not draw unnecessary attention at immigration. It's advisable to have an onward ticket within 60 days of arrival, though it's unlikely that immigration will ask for it. For accommodation, booking a hotel for just three days upon arrival is acceptable, as long as you can show proof of that booking if requested. Additionally, considering a Non O retirement visa can alleviate the need for an onward ticket.
