TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for a flight ticket when applying for an E-Visa to Thailand appears to vary based on different experiences shared by users. Some state that a flight ticket is necessary, while others suggest that it may depend on the applicant's country of origin or specific circumstances. Several comments recommend using a dummy ticket as a viable option.

just look at the airline you are planning to use and check the flights that are within the visa I.e can't apply earlier than 3 months in advance. Take a note of the flight number and then put that into your application. You can buy the ticket later

intended date. You can buy tickets after receiving visa, but to know that you are eligable to apply, they ask date. Because date of flights should not be more then in 3 months

yes but they ask for the flight number so does this mean I have to buy tickets to Thailand?

@Lilly *********
no. You can check what flight you want to buy

And, you should check visa requirements, DTV visa don't require tickets. Tourism visa - require on next step
