TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is planning a visa run from Thailand to Kuala Lumpur and is seeking clarification on whether they need to complete the Malaysia digital arrival card prior to their flight, as well as if they can purchase a one-way ticket since they are uncertain about their length of stay. Community comments confirm that the digital arrival card is needed and that Malaysia requires proof of exit travel, similar to Thailand's policies. Additionally, the user has already extended their stay in Thailand and now needs to activate a new E Tourist Visa after leaving.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

These online arrival cards 72 hours hours before landing seem to be the new policy. The Philippines has the same requirement. It isn't too cumbersome but something to be aware

Malaysia requires proof of exit travel, just like Thailand. I don't know how often they check.
