Sorry if this has been asked already- With the new 60 day visa exemption, does that mean that you can now show the immigration officer an outbound plane ticket that is within the 60 days, rather than the 30 days prior correct?

TLDR : Answer Summary

With the new 60-day visa exemption in Thailand, travelers can now present an outbound plane ticket that is scheduled within the 60 days of entry, rather than the previous requirement of 30 days. It's noted that while airlines may ask for proof of onward travel, it's uncommon for Thai immigration to request this documentation upon entry.

And it’s highly unlikely immigration will ask. The airline asks. I’ve flown into Thailand 6 times in the last 18 months and I’ve never been asked.

it REALLY depends on the airline AND from where you are flying from. Every time I fly to Thailand from the USA, my airline Delta ALWAYS asks for my departure flight. Then I have to show them my one year extension of stay as I am retired in my passport. American Airlines asks too.

I’m sure it does. I’m always airasis and they haven’t and my original flight was EVA and they didn’t. It seems like lots of stuff in Thailand is ymmv 555

it seems like it's more common when the flights are from the US. I also don't get asked when using airlines over in Asia, but get asked pretty often when flying from the US

Long distance flights from Europe too. Lufthansa, KLM, Scandinavian airlines system (SAS) and Finnair deny and de-board people on one way ticket without a long stay visa.

correct, if you're asked for proof of onward travel (by the airline or when you stamp in) you can now show it 60 days out since the rule changed and you get 60 day free stamp entry
