Can I travel from the UK to Thailand with a one-way ticket in January?

Simon ********

Its always been possible, the requirements are for proof of onward travel. The airline may ask to see, but in twenty years I've never been asked. Immigration are unlikely to ask unless they are suspicious. Best option is to have a cheap flight or bus ticket out just in case.
