Do NOT buy a flight back to Thailand until you have the visa, since you don’t know how long the visa processing will take, especially if additional documents are asked for ( which resets the clock to zero) of an interview is requested.

Changeable tickets may be so much more expensive that it will cost to much

you don't need to show an outbound flight booking for the DTV application. Just choose an intended date.
