Do I need to provide a departure flight for my visa extension in Thailand?
do I need to list a departure flight? Im planning to extend
Answer summary
When applying for a visa extension in Thailand, it is generally required to have a departure flight for visa exempt entries or tourist visas. It is advised to book a flight that can be changed without fees, as these are easier to manage. However, some users noted that a return flight might not be necessary when filling out certain forms, indicating that requirements may vary depending on the application method.

Google "onward flight ticket" and you can rent a fully valid plane ticket to pretty much anywhere for exactly this type of situation. Costs about $10

depends on the one you purchase. But do you think immigration has access to the airline's databases? They just want to see that you have itEdgar ************

thanks bro and what should I write for the 'local gaurantor'?Garrett ***********
@Pe***
Anywhere, you need a ticket leaving Thailand within the period of time you'd be permitted entry to. If you're entering on a 30 day visa exemtion, you need a ticket leaving THailand before that 30 days would expire. Book a refundable ticket, cancel it once you enter Thailand. Immigration doesn't care, normally it's the airline that will refuse you boarding.
