It looks like from next month you will have to be able to show a flight out of Thailand if you wish to apply for a Thai tourist visa in any of the local Asian countries, on the notices it states it has to be a flight ticket, yep, you nip off to Penang, Cambodia or Laos to get a new tourist visa to go back into Thailand you will have to show the Thai embassy or consulate your flight ticket out of Thailand, there are no other options listed, ie rail travel or bus or car, in the Thai embassy in Vientiane they are now not issueing multiple Non immigrant O visas for married to Thai national people, yep only a single entry so you have to go the work permit or yearly route if you don't want to piss around with visa runs, I would imagine that quite a few people will be giving up on bothering to stay in Thailand.
