TLDR : Answer Summary

The traveler has a tourist visa and an onward ticket to Hanoi. Based on community feedback, they should have no issues passing through immigration, as proof of funds and hotel reservations are rarely checked. Some commenters mentioned that airlines might request proof of onward travel.

You will sail through immigration with no issues

In fact you might even get a smile from the immigration officer.

No proof of funds is ever asked for the guys on immigration are to busy to delay you and everyone else behind you in the queue

You're covered as far as onward travel. The other 2 things immigration can ask for but is very rare is proof of 20,000 baht or equivalent in another major currency IN CASH ONLY and for your first week or so of hotel reservations.

and if they are REALLY nitpicking, and looking for a reason to deny you entry, they might ask for proof of accommodation for the entire stay
