because soft power is much more expensive, not really that challenging to work out why people would rather save 50,000 baht.

Using soft power option over the whole five years would likely cost hundreds of thousands vs 0 baht for the workcation option.

AuthenticPassionfruit644 that's pretty much up to the discretion of the immigration officer, no matter what kind of visa you have. Holding a visa is not a guarantee of entry.

For the price of these onward ticket websites, you could just buy a real flight with Air Asia to many destinations.

Thai immigration aren't stupid, they know that the "onward ticket" isn't a real ticket. But you can buy an actual ticket from BKK - Phnom Penh for 1500 baht and then just never use it.
