ORIGINAL POSTERHey guys. I applied for my visa on the 14th and got accepted on the 28th. My first app was denied because of the gym I chose, this time they didn’t ask any follow up questions. It went very smooth.
Now my new question is what all do I need to enter the country when I fly out in a few weeks? I heard I still need a return flight, is that true?

TLDR : Answer Summary

They're unsure about the requirements for entry, including whether an onward flight ticket or proof of funds is necessary. The community provided insights indicating that a return flight is not required, and stressed the importance of having the printed DTV visa and other documentation ready for arrival.

Just get a cheap bus ticket (Hat Yai - Georgetown, Udon-Vientiane etc.) online. No need to be air ticket. You will still need to fill onwards ticket info in your digital online arrival card.

Great. Just so we know and you don't need to name the gym, but did the first gym say they were OK for DTV?

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks that was very helpful. I also heard you have to show proof of funds (500k) once more upon arrival. Is there any truth to that?

NO factual reports happening of requests by Thai Immigration Officers to show your bank account balance of 500,000 Thai baht or more on arrival into Thailand.
It's suggested that you have with you a COPY of ALL your documents SUBMITTED by you with your DTV Visa Application.
Enjoy your next 5 years of the DTV visa 👍
