Do I need to book a flight to leave after the first 60 days in case immigration ask when I’m leaving the country?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a 90-day Non-O visa in the UK with the intention of transitioning to a retirement visa in Thailand, there is no requirement to book an onward flight out of Thailand after the first 60 days. The Non-O visa allows you to establish residence in Thailand, and you will be eligible to apply for an extension or a retirement visa once in the country. Comments from other users confirm that there is no need for onward travel proof in this context.
