Summary so far
The user, a Filipino woman recently married to a Thai national, has encountered difficulties in applying for an O visa after submitting incorrect documents, specifically an old passport that does not match her current marital status. After seeking advice from the Thai embassy in her home country and attempting an online application while in Thailand, she received a denial due to the mismatch. Now, she is unsure how to proceed as the system asks for a return ticket, which is complicated by her current stay in Thailand. Community members suggest booking a temporary bus ticket, visiting the local immigration office, and clarifying the specific requirements needed for her visa application.

Look very closely at what they are asking for. Are they specifically asking for a booking? Or maybe just an itinerary? For several embassies they just want a flight number, date etc, which you can get without actually booking anything yet.

In other words, you might be able to just go online and find a specific flight to Thailand from the Philippines, at a date convenient for the visa application to be finished, and give them the flight information.

You can't apply online from inside Thailand. Go and talk to your local immigration office in Samui about getting an in country Non-O visa as married to a Thai. Take your husband with you

you must have at least 15 days (21 in some places) left on your current stamp to apply for an in country Non-O visa. If you don't they will turn you away. And to apply online you must first leave Thailand and travel to the country of the consulate you want to apply through

Are they asking to see a return ticket showing you intend to leave Thailand? if so you can book a cheap 'throwaway' Bus ticket to Laos from 12go.com but of course if you make other arrangements and get your proper visa then you do not use the bus ticket. hope that helps
