In regards to proof of onward travel with visa on arrival.... do I need to show a flight or is a bus ticket sufficient?

Answer summary

For proof of onward travel with a visa on arrival in Thailand, a bus ticket is generally considered sufficient. You may need to provide a confirmed ticket that shows your travel plans within 15 days of arrival. However, some airlines may have stricter requirements regarding boarding, so it's important to check with your airline to ensure they accept a bus ticket. Many travelers, especially UK passport holders, do not need a visa on arrival but qualify for a visa exemption, which also requires proof of onward travel.

Rebecca - do you mean 'visa on arrival' or visa exemption? The difference is the passport you hold. Your profile suggest your from the UK?

********************************************************************

-- If that is the case then you don't get visa on arrival you'll get visa exemption. I think the larger issue is not so much Thailand's rules about entry into the kingdom.. They'll let any half-decent money spending tourist in (few exceptions), but will the airlines let you board? In the US some airlines will not let you on without A) a visa or B) all the requirements. In this case - its a matter of what the airline will accept. Call them. You may find your question better answered on this forum if asked as: "I am a UK passport holder. Planning to visit Th for ... days. I will be there for [fun/tourism,work,education, etc ]"

For the Visa on Arrival you must have a confirmed return ticket within 15 days. This Visa is only for 21 countries, the details you can read here:
