TLDR : Answer Summary

To enter Thailand on a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV), it is advisable to have proof of onward travel. While it is rare for immigration officials to request this documentation, it is a requirement that can be requested. In general, tourists must show a ticket out of Thailand within their 60-day stay, and it is also necessary to provide a ticket for re-entry when applying for the METV.

You will need a ticket to enter Thailand, one to leave within 60 days then another ticket entering Thailand when applying for your METV as proof that you need one

One of the requirements to enter Thailand as a tourist is proof of onward travel. Though it's rare to be asked, you can be asked for proof of your ticket out of Thailand.
