TLDR : Answer Summary
Australian citizens do not need to apply for a visa before arriving in Thailand as they can receive a 30-day visa exempt stamp upon arrival, which is free. It's essential to have proof of onward travel within 30 days. For fast track services at the airport, recommendations include using Klook or specific services like Limousine Thailand.

I've used this one in this past for fast track and airport transfer since they offered a small discount if you booked both.

If you arrive without a visa you will not get one on arrival. You can receive a free entry stamp that is known as "visa exempt" which is not a visa. It will be valid for 30 days. It is likely your airline will ask you to show proof of a ticket out of Thailand within 30 days before they will let you board your flight.

Many times I have come from Australia with one way ticket Singapore Airlines and have had no problems on 30 day exempt.

Thanks for the info. So if I have a return ticket then the airline should be happy and Thai immigration will also let me enter?
