TLDR : Answer Summary
For visa applications to Thailand, you generally do not need to purchase an actual flight ticket. Instead, you can print a flight itinerary from a booking website, which suffices for most embassies. Some users suggest obtaining a dummy ticket, which is a legitimate way to support your visa application without committing to a real flight. You may also visit a travel center to get a flight itinerary printed without upfront payment. It's essential to ensure your e-visa processing time aligns with your travel plans.

3. Easy...I was in Vietnam, so just took selfie outside local post office in Hoi An.

4. Just upload your flight itinerary to Thailand

5. Book a hotel on Agoda, booking.com etc....upload the booking details, then cancel the booking.

You can go into a Flight Centre to book a flight and they will print a flight Itinerary for you - no need to pay, they will hold the booking for 48 hours so you don’t have to commit to that flight if you’re not ready

 If you can share the information, I can help with the booking. It will be valid for a maximum of 48 hours, which is enough for the visa application. You’ll only need a flight reservation, not a paid ticket - because Thai Embassy only requires proof of reservation, not a paid booking.

Go to a booking website. Find a flight you like. Print out the itinerary and upload it. If they want to see a real ticket they will then send you a request for additional information. Most embassies don't require an actual booking for a visa application.

 The website shows the type of ticket, duration, flight number and price. All that info is available on the airlines page. You see all that before you book! That's how people decide if it's the right flight for themselves. Go look. No point keep asking if you won't look.

 no, search for flight reservation, you will find few websites, they charge you 15 to 20 usd and they will provide you a dummy flight reservation which you can attach along with booking or if they require they will send you an email to upload the additional documents.

 but this dummy flight can long up to 48 hours or 3 days so if my evisa process took 7 days or 10 the ticket will be inactive and not a real ticket, did you try it for a visa before?
