Should I book a return flight within 60 days of my tourist visa for Thailand or can it be for 6 months later?

The user inquires whether they should book a return flight within the 60 days allowed on their tourist visa or if a flight 6 months from now would be problematic. Community responses clarify that while it is typically expected to have a return flight within 60 days, airlines often do not strictly enforce this. Additionally, proof of onward travel to another country can suffice instead of a return flight, along with necessary documentation such as proof of funds and accommodation.
