Hello everyone, 

  Can someone give me a website that I can book a flight ticket that can be valid for about two weeks without me making the payment.

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around finding ways to book a flight ticket to Thailand that allows for a hold without immediate payment, typically required for visa purposes. Participants shared various websites and methods, such as 'onwardticket.com' and using American Airlines' cancellation policy to secure a ticket temporarily. Some tips included obtaining proof of onward travel, which can be essential depending on visa requirements.

On Skyscanner there’s an option when you book with American Airlines that you book a flight without paying for it straight away. If you cancel your booking within 24 hours you don’t have to pay any fees. My advice would be to use this option just prior to your flight into Thailand and once you’ve gone through customs at the airport immediately cancel the booking. This is explained under the header ‘American Airlines cancellation policy’ on the following website with a direct link for booking one of those flights:

there's a post on another thai visa group of a lady from Zimbabwe who bought a ticket before getting her visa (having a ticket is required). The visa was denied and it seems she bought a non refundable ticket which she has probably lost. This folk appears to be smarter so he will probably apply for his visa using the onward ticket as a proof. In the worst case his loss would be just 20bucks

quite often airlines will require proof of exit within the initial number of days allowed if on a visa exempt entry or tourist visa. Some won’t. Some will. Flip a coin and you’ll get a good answer as to whether yours will.

I've been asked as a British national to show an onward flight out of Thailand before. Much more regularly as of late.

It might be random cases and they have right to ask as per the policy, it’s better to have onward ticket

correct. I've always either had a return flight or been on an extension of stay so never had any issues.
