I didn't have any onward travel booked. No one asked to see money . Digital arrival card has accommodation info on it so they didn't ask for that . Stamped for 6 months.

it depends who you fly with as they can still ask to see onward travel, qatar airways did check, not a worry with thai immigration.

Airlines can ask and you just show your DTV. I often use Qatar and there are no probs without an onward ticket as a DTVER.

You can extend that at immigration, so you don't have to

Alan Onit You can apply for an extension, it's not a given. People are refused extensions. It's also a requirement of many airlines to have onward travel within the duration of your allowed stay.
