Do I need to show a return flight when entering Bangkok with a US passport?
Hi! I’m entering Bangkok with just my US passport, will I need to present a return flight?
Answer summary
When entering Bangkok with a US passport, you typically do not need to show a return flight. However, airlines may require proof of onward travel at check-in. For most travelers, immigration officials in Thailand will not question this if you are visiting temporarily.

proof of ONWARD is becoming the norm now. It's been mentioned lots, use this if you need to.

Not a return flight, but your airline may ask for proof of ONWARD journey at check-in

It's the airline that can refuse you boarding if you don't have a long term visa and plan to enter visa exempt. So, contact your airline and ask. Immigration in Thailand won't question you on this if you're an occasional visitor.
