Will a bus or train ticket be accepted for the METV outbound ticket requirement?

The discussion revolves around the requirement for an outbound ticket when applying for the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for Thailand. It inquires whether a bus or train ticket can be used as proof of departure and the timing of booking this ticket.
