I'm going to Thailand in January  on non-imm O visa. Flying from UK.

 Can I buy one way ticket as I'm not sure how long will i stay? Or will it have problems on the border?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling to Thailand with a Non-Immigrant O visa allows you to buy a one-way ticket. Travelers have successfully entered Thailand on one-way tickets without issues at the border. However, some airlines might require proof of onward travel, so it's advisable to check with your airline or consider purchasing a low-cost outbound ticket.

I've never been asked at the border, but some airlines require proof of onward travel with a one way ticket. The last flight I had from the US was with Delta/Korean Air. They asked for proof of onward travel. I had bought a cheap ticket to Cambodia just in case they asked so I showed them that.

Hiya 👋 I moved here in July with my daughter who has a different last name to me (am married but didn't change my passport to married name, same as my child). We both came on a one way ticket and nobody in the UK or Thailand said anything, totally fine x

cool thx . One more question

Checked on Google and people said that the IO won't ask for onward ticket. But they might ask for a oneard ticket when boarding plane in UK.

ohh ok. That should be enough? Its a single entry non imm O visa ( for 3 months) but then I plan either to extend it or just fly out of Thailand and return
