TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters suggests that you should generally obtain your visa before purchasing a flight ticket to Thailand. Several participants recommend having all necessary documents, including the visa, ready before making flight arrangements. Some mention the importance of flexible ticket options due to potential changes in travel plans and the ongoing issues related to hotel bookings. It is also noted that in certain cases, a reservation without full payment may suffice to satisfy embassy requirements.

that the most unfair unsense and stupid that many embassy do , ask u for paid tickets when u don't have the visa yet , better u just try to get a booking without pay it , thai airways is one that u can make a booking and pending the payment , may be there are another ones but i can not find ,not easy to find that....

Need to check with your embassy where you are applying, when i came through in July was COE first then tickets and ASQ then visa. Two weeks later it changed and has now changed again.
But i had to show all the visa documentation was in order on my COE application
Visa first! You need to have that in hand before you can move forward.

There is no 'hunting' in Pattaya buddy. You are being deceived of feeling like the hunter but actually you are the one being hunted on. And if you ask me the 'hunt' itself is totally lost in Pattaya... over there it's just as simple as talk, pay, and f*** . 🤣
see your profile has lots of kids as friends..you sick brain dead waste of breath...if I got my hands on you I'd push a stick so far up your arse you'd end up chewing on it 👊
...I have reported you stupid...awww feelin very frightened now. Fucking NOT

Some of the imates will fuck you up the arse like you do with little boys you dirty sad aresehole

Make sure it's a fully flexible/refundable ticket just in case ... some hotels want full payment up front, some will take a deposit (5000 THB?) and the balance on check in.

Make sure you get your flight with an airline that does not charge for changes because we are finding issues with hotels being full so you almost have to get your hotel confirmed then change your ticket but prices are really good right now we got two tickets from America for $2,200 a week out
