Interesting how you resort to infantile comments. You're upset because you were corrected. It's that simple

Airlines do for tourism based entries. I also live in Thailand and am never asked to show any onward journey due to my visa status

@Simon *********
Visa status is very important. You entered on a tourism visa/exempt hence you were required to sign a waiver. Had you been on a non-immigrant visa this would not have been required

***sigh***Ok. So your original post was misleading. You gave the impression you were on a non-immigrant visa, whereas in fact you were nothing more than a tourist. Why didn't state the FULL FACTS in the first place?
Jim ********
@Simon *********
What you said is totally misleading. If you had to sign a waiver you were duped. But don't worry, you're not the first and certainly not the last who doesn't understand how visas work
Jim ********
@Simon *********
I was merely pointing out that people living in Thailand on non-immigrant visas have NEVER needed to show outward bound tickets. It's only those on tourism-based visas/entries who are required to do so. Your answer was not really relevant to the original question

You'll need to take that up with the tax office. If you're SPENDING money in Thailand you are in fact bringing it into the country. If you use your credit card at say, Tops Supermarket, the money you spend is actually coming into the country. I respectfully ask you not to shoot the messenger, I'm simply stating facts

@Simon *********
Well, yeah ....but your advice was very vague. It certainly needed cleaning up. You struggle with understanding the ways different visas are looked at.
