I have a friend arriving as a tourist. I assume the regular 30 day. He may extend.
He is asking if still a requirement to show that you have a flight ticket departing the kingdom within the 30 days?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is still required to show proof of onward travel when entering Thailand as a tourist. Immigration officers may ask for this proof along with evidence of sufficient finances (20,000 THB or equivalent) and accommodation arrangements. It's also noted that while presenting documentation for an extension of stay, the onward ticket may not be necessary, but it can still be requested.

Can book a cheap flight on Expedia.com (US website) and cancel within 24 hrs. So book before boarding and cancel on arrival

ORIGINAL POSTER
On a Pre Covid tourist trip to Thailand - no visa but the allowed stamp in of 30 day. The airline asked me for proof of onward travel before I was allowed to board.

Based on your wording it's difficult to tell if you are asking about arriving to Thailand or for when he goes for the extension.
For the extension he won't need to show a ticket departing Thailand.
