If you arrive on a Non-Immigrant O visa from the UK with the intention of retiring is it acceptable to arrive on a 1 way ticket at BKK?

Answer summary

Traveling to Thailand on a Non-Immigrant O visa for the purpose of retirement generally does not require you to have an onward travel ticket. Responses from other travelers indicate that they were not asked for onward travel documentation either upon entering Thailand or at departure points in the UK. This suggests that arriving on a one-way ticket should be acceptable when you hold a valid Non-O visa.

I'm facing the same upcoming issue but from Canada. I don't feel it should be required because I've got a Non-O Visa stamp valid until

and Re-Entry permit stamps in my passport. Hmm, denied boarding compensation claim? I'm in no rush, well not really. I'll find out in a couple of weeks.
