you've, probably, been asked this a thousand times and I couldn't find the info elseware.

So, Is it essential to have a plane ticket when applying for this kind of visa?

I was thinking of getting the visa ready, then i'd be able to leave on a moments notice (the next few weeks!).

I am British and 35

Don't need ticket beforehand. They will ask when you are arriving in LOS so visa will be valid. You must use visa within a certain amount of time from issue, I think 2 mos.

Onward tickets are only neccessary for those arriving in Thailand without a visa........ie. those arriving and been giving a 30 day stay stamp upon arrival. If you are coming here for up to 90 days simply apply for a single entry tourist visa in the UK (within the last 30 days before you leave the UK ) and you will recieve an initial 60 day stay upon arrival in Thailand which can be extended for another 30 days at local immigration if required. As long as you have such visa in your passport you have no worries re onward tickets. The visa has a 3 month validity in which to utilise it from date of issue. If you coming for longer than 90 days you/ll need to apply for a double entry tourist visa (good for 180 days overall) or a triple (good for 270 days).
