What do I need to know about applying for a 60-day Thailand visa from the UK, especially regarding flight bookings?

Question

Any help or advice greatly appreciated thank you 
 I’m applying for 60 day Visa from UK for end of December, wanting to extend for 30 days end of February, it’s asking for flights, I’m guessing I can just select a flight roughly when I want to go and put the flight number down, the same as accommodation from a site where I can cancel, as I don’t know the exact dates when I’m going,. If I select the date for flight return, can I actually just buy a single air ticket as I won’t know the date I’m returning or will they refuse me entry when I get to Thailand. ￼

When applying for a 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) for Thailand from the UK, you must provide proof of confirmed and paid flight bookings. This includes your arrival ticket and an onward ticket, which is often strictly required by embassies. While you might consider selecting flexible flight options, many applicants have reported that they were asked to submit e-tickets during the process. To avoid complications, it is advisable to either book a refundable ticket or a cheap onward flight that you can cancel later. Be prepared to show these documents both during your visa application and upon arrival at Bangkok airport, where immigration will verify your paperwork.

Also when you arrive at Bangkok (BKK) airport, immigration will check all your paper work

When applying for a 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) for Thailand, you are required to provide proof of a booked, confirmed, and paid ticket for your arrival in Thailand, as well as a booked ticket for your departure. This can be a flight, train, or bus ticket; however, in practice, some embassies only accept a confirmed flight ticket. The airline may also ask to see this proof of onward travel when you check in for your flight to Thailand. If you intend to extend your visa, it is advisable to purchase a refundable flight ticket.

You need to show confirmation of a flight that has been booked. You cant pull the wool over their eyes by just giving a flight number

Gary you can try and give them just flight numbers you haven't actually yet booked, but I know when i applied through london they actually asked for booked flight tickets to be uploaded before they would continue wuth my visa application. Also your airline will typically want to see an out bound ticket within the visa date so within the 60 days, you can ask your airline if they will accept a one way flight knowing you will be applying for an extension, if they say no then you could book a cheap onward ticket within the 60 days to say vietnam to show and then not use it and book your return flight later. I would get your application ASAP as this is the busy time of year and could take longer than normal
