TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among community members is that you do not need to show a return flight or proof of 20,000 baht when returning to Thailand with a valid non-O visa. However, it is advised to be prepared in case immigration officials ask for it.

, fail to prepare be prepared to fail. you COULD be asked, so why not just have the proof of funds and onward travel when you stamp in? It is sure better than NOT having it and being asked to produce it.

... Always be prepared if asked by Thai Immigration to show 20,000 Thai baht or equal in CASH upon arrival..

.. .Along with your address of stay in Thailand.

...And if your Visa has expired while you are outside of Thailand, you have no visa...show your departure ticket out of Thailand.

As far as you have a valid non O visa you don't need a return ticket or 20 thousand cash.
