OK so as long as I let them know I'll be heading out, (but do not have a fixed date as yet) they will be ok with that?I have rental House. Do they require more than an address?
Robert *******
proof of onward travel is that you leave the country within the period of stay you get on entry or with added 30 days as Immigration knows you can apply for an extension of stay.
Scott **************
OPWhat if onward travel is by land border (North to Myanmar, or South to Malaysia)

As US-citizen you will be visa exempted for a stay of up to 30 days. The stay can be extended at any immigration office by another 30 days for 1900 Baht.
