I have a question I’m hoping you can help me with. I noticed on site people writing about being denied airline boarding and/or Thailand entry without return ticket. If I’m using passport entry for 45 days, and intend to extend 30 days why would I buy a return ticket if I don’t know the return date yet? I’m assuming that extension needs to be approved, but can be denied. Also, if I buy a return ticket to reflect 45 days it’s a waste of money if extension is approved (as would be a return ticket projected out 75 days if extension denied). Please advise. Thank you.

I’m not suggesting that you’re suggesting anything but I feel you might be saying it’s a good idea to have a return ticket corresponding with the 45 day and count the loss (price of ticket) if/when I get an extension? Is this what most people do?

now here is what I don’t understand. There is no stamp date until you go through immigration, because there is no stamp at that point, right? Also on passport I get 45 days which I can extend another 30 days. Why would I buy an outbound ticket if the 30 days hasn’t been approved yet? Wouldn’t it be prudent to buy an outbound ticket when you know when you’re leaving, not speculating?
