Does my girlfriend need to book a departure ticket or is a hotel reservation enough for entering Thailand on an extension?

A quick question. My gf, Philippine, joins me in Thailand. The Cebu consulate is always doing difficult about giving a girl in visa (opposed to Manila) . So she just gets the extension, which is easy.

Bit it is a problem for airline and sometimes Phil or Thai immigration. Now my question is, does she really needs to book (or rent) a ticket to leave the country before 30 days? Or is a booking in hotel, lets say in Vientiane enough?

Answer summary

The question addresses the visa and immigration concerns faced by a Philippine national entering Thailand. The user is inquiring whether it is necessary for his girlfriend to have a booked departure ticket or if a hotel reservation in a nearby country (like Vientiane) would suffice to meet immigration requirements, particularly considering challenges faced at the Cebu consulate regarding visa issuance.
