I saw this one the other day but I have no idea how reputable they are. That said, I hear people on here rave about how good TikTok Services is but I've never used them & I don't know their prices.

Will Thailand immigration ask for onward tickets if I'm staying for 56 days?

กะลาสี *****

I didn't read all the comments so maybe this has already been addressed but technically you need to have the equivalent of 20,000 Thai Baht in cash & proof of where you'll be staying (e.g. Proof of hotel booking.) BTW,the 20K THB can be in ANY currency (e.g. GBP, USD, EURO, etc.)

Do I need to show proof of lodging for the entire duration of my tourist visa in Thailand?

@Joshua ********

exactly what Nigel said, cash only. When I land here I always arrive with extra cash (it never hurts to have extra cash.) Looks like you're in the US. That said 20K THB = nearly $550 USD right now so I'd bring maybe $750 USD to allow for any exchange fluctuations.
