I solved it by buying an inexpensive ticket Bangkok > Singapore which I cancelled once in Thailand and got a refund. There wasn't a problem with no return ticket, they just wanted to see an onward ticket. It's been many years now since I've read anywhere about it still being a problem. :cheers:
Looking on various media websites it seems hit and miss - many people say they have entered on a single ticket whereas some have been refused entry/permission to fly. It’s obviously a risk and one that I don’t think I’m willing to take, so will probably go down the route of booking a single ticket to somewhere that can be cancelled for a refund (less admin charge).
