Do you need an actual onward flight ticket to get a tourist visa for Thailand, and will a round-trip ticket back to Thailand be an issue?

Problem not in thailand its your airline...any onward ticket out of thailand will do....most western countries visa exempt for 30 days...

A great deal depends. For example on your check in for the flight they may well ask you for an onward ticket but not always. I was denied the first time but went out and got an onward ticket and it worked fine. The second time I was denied in Japan where I had entered on a return business ticket but they said and rightly so that I had to have an onward ticket so I showed them the one I still had from before, which was out of date. He didn't didn't realise that. I told him that a UK citizen didn,t need an onward ticket from Hong Kong and I was right. He didn't like it one bit but I got on and had no trouble getting back into Thailand.

How di I buy a dummy ticket for $6.00?

Can buy a dummy ticket for 6$

Noticed or not it fulfills the requirement, traveling around to other countries is pretty basic.

It may be noticed, but it is still an onward ticket leaving Thailand, and so you should get the visa.

When i applied for my 60day tourist evisa it asked for onward travel, i only sent my one way flight as i dont have a return/onward ticket & my visa was accepted. i’ve been in Thailand since november now

As long as you leave the country it's no problem

buy bus ticket anywhere outside for cheap, just to a city right outside thailand. check 12goasia... obviously you can then throw it away...
