Hey guys, if I'm living in Thailand on Parent visa (non-o) and I'm leaving to go to the Philippines for a short holiday. When I return do I need another flight booked to leave Thailand when my visa expires? Or because I stay here I don't need?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When traveling outside Thailand on a Parent visa (non-o), you do not need to book another flight to leave Thailand when your visa expires, as long as you have a valid long-term visa or extension. Ensure you obtain a Thailand Pass for your return and remember to get a re-entry stamp to maintain your stay permit.

Long term visa/extensions do not require a flight out. You will need a ThailandPass to return. Also make sure you have a re-entry stamp to keep your permitted to stay date alive.
