Answer summary
The consensus among commenters is that Immigration officers in Thailand do not typically require proof of an outbound flight for those entering on a DTV visa. Many expats recount experiences where they were not asked for an outbound flight tickets during entry, even after multiple visits. However, it is acknowledged that the officers have the authority to request such proof, although it appears to be rare. Several participants emphasized the importance of having the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) ready when traveling.

cos the moment they scan your passport, it automatically pops up on their computer screen. So you don’t need to print it out for them.Zess ********
MagentaLobster8724 that can’t be true because I rarely ever have an outbound ticket, so if it does, they do not care

Never got asked about the outbound flight after 6 or 7 exit. But, I don't rule it out completely!

It’s within their power to require proof for entry, that being said, most of the time when you hear of people being questioned upon entry with a DTV there are other “aggravating” factors involved.

Participante anónimo 472 sure, but this is more a yes/no question. Have you been asked? In my case: no, never. And I have like 15 entries on the DTV so far already.
