@Jeff *******

People often use these terms interchangeably. As long as the rest of the context indicates which one is desired, it's easy to provide the correct advice.

@David *******

You're the arrogant, entitled jerk on here, so it's you who should go home, little offended snowflake.

@David *******

Yes you are

@David *******

Another entitled begpacker coming to Thailand. There are way too many of your types coming here these days. Arrogant know it alls (who don't actually know anything) with an incredible sense of entitlement.

@Suave ****

No, you don't. You just need the money in your account.

Enjoy the Banh Mi and bia Hoi, Thailand doesn't have anything like it. Other than at Paul, Tops and some foreign owned bakeries and major hotels, the bread here is dreadful and the beer is even worse. Thankfully Beer Lao is widely available in Thailand and imported beer from other countries is also sold in major supermarkets.

@David *******

Yes they can. Any immigration authority can demand you prove you meet their requirements for entry. Argue it out with them, you'll be denied very quickly if you don't meet their entry criteria.

@David *******

Wow, what a pompous, arrogant liar you are. I have my visa, which I obtained in Taiwan. You're just an entitled and arrogant person, I hope you are denied a boarding pass or entry to Thailand or another country. With your attitude, you don't deserve to come here.

@David *******

And yes, immigration can absolutely demand an outbound ticket and they often do.

@David *******

You have to follow the law, that is the rule of the country you are going to. Your arguments don't make any sense.

Airline check-in agents will routinely ask for proof of outbound travel, unless you can show a visa, when flying to Thailand.

While this won't happen at every point of departure, count yourself lucky if you haven't been affected by this yet.
