ORIGINAL POSTER
Previously I had a Non-Imm O. I have been out of Thailand for a few months. I wish to return for 60-90 days this time. I own a condo in Bangkok. However, I am wondering how strict they are on having an ongoing flight or train ticket etc?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual previously held a Non-Imm O visa and is now planning to visit Thailand as a tourist for 60-90 days. They own a condo in Bangkok but are concerned about the necessity of having an onward flight or train ticket for their entry. Community responses clarify that proof of onward travel is often required, especially for visa-exempt entries, and that ownership of property in Thailand does not exempt one from this requirement.

Sadly, that you own a condo doesn't cut any ice with immigrations if you're trying to come in as a "tourist" on a 60 day free stamp (visa exempt) entry.

Also the proof of onward travel is most often an air carrier policy and they require you to show proof you're leaving in the number of days you get stamped in for if you're comin' here without a visa (visa exempt).

If you manage to board your flight without onward travel you are highly unlikely to be questioned by passport control when you stamp into thailand. You do not have a history of extensive visa exempt entries, (as you said you were previously on a Non-O visa/extension)
