I am planning to go to Thailand from South Korea for a medical procedure (knee). The time period is a bit open, depending on how many appts needed and recovery time. It's a nerve problem, not ACL or anything too big (I hope). Does anyone have any good suggestions for things to look for, avoid when getting a ticket that probably will have to be changed. I am thinking on booking 3 weeks first, and then extending if I have to. I guess I just need to check every airline from South Korea to Thailand (there are a few good budget ones luckily), but just wanted to check here for tips too.

Thanks,

Moved to the Thai visas and etc forum.

What type of visa will you be entering Thailand with?

If you enter on a tourist visa you will not need a return or onward ticket.

You may also be able to apply for non-o visa based upon medical treatment at the Thai embassy in Seoul that would allow a 90 day stay. No return or onward ticket would be needed to apply for it.

Good ideas, Thank you. I am American so I was planning on entering visa-free for 30 days, but then I would need the return ticket already booked. I will look into getting a 60 day visa to avoid needing the return ticket.

It does not have to be a return ticket. You can use a onward ticket that can be a one way ticket to anywhere. Do a search for onward ticket and you can find sites that officer a onward ticket for about $15.
