What should I do if I can't provide a return ticket for my O visa application while in Thailand?

Tom ********

Are they asking to see a return ticket showing you intend to leave Thailand? if so you can book a cheap 'throwaway' Bus ticket to Laos from 12go.com but of course if you make other arrangements and get your proper visa then you do not use the bus ticket. hope that helps
