I meant having £500 which is not part of my budget to get home.
If that money's anywhere you have access to it, there is a very real risk that you will spend it, and then be left with no way to return (well, except charity - that's why they insist on return tickets)

but I think I will look into the open ticket idea (i will have a one year visa btw).
Do you have the visa already? Again, to get the visa, you will need to show a return ticket. They won't just issue you a visa 'just because'.
Also, bear in mind, that even if you get a ticket with a validity of one year, it will only be good for 90-day visits at a time, at which point you will need to make a visa run. You need to include those into your budget as well - and those run around 2,000 Baht each time, plus miscellaneous expenses.

no such things as vsa runs, ever, if you have the right visa, I suspect somehow that you will not.

I have obtained a one year “O” visa for two years in a row now and never had to show them a ticket.
Had to tell them purpose of visit, give them a date of arrival (have yet to match my actual arrival date with the date I give them at the time I apply for the visa), duration of stay, and method of travel (form says something like "Traveling by" and I simply print “Air"). I have yet to be asked for a proof of a ticket. BTW – I get my visa in Tokyo every year.

No ultimately Thailand is responsible for who it lets in and who it does not.
I have flown in on several occasions with no outward ticket and obtained a visa on arrival.

You are both right. Immigration are responsible for letting you enter the country, but it is up to the airline whether they will fly you to the destination.
If, and it is a big if, immigration refuse to let you into the country as you do not have an outward ticket (which is required for the waiver of visa), the airline is responsible for flying you back, and are liable for a fine. It happened to me once. Emirates refused to let me on the plane as I had a one way ticket and no visa. Seen it happen a number of times to others also. Easily sorted, I bought the cheapest one way ticket out of Thailand from Emirates, and refunded it once in Bangkok.

I agree with Finchy here.
The last time I flew from Austin, Texas back to Singapore on a back-end of a return ticket the agent did not want to check me in even though I showed her my reentry pass in my passport and my Singapore ID.
She insisted that I needed a ticket outbound from Singapore to be checked in. I ended up demanding to see the station manager who eventually backed down when I threatened to call the Singapore Embassy and United's HQ in Chicago.
In another case Cathay Pacific refused me boarding on a HK - PI flight as I did not have an outbound ticket physically with me (I left my PI - SIN ticket in Manila). I had to buy a one-way return ticket to HK and have it refunded in Manila. Did PI immigration check? Of course not but Cathay Pacific stood by their rules...

I read everything you guys posted, your responses have been great, I think open ticket makes the most sense ;p
If I wanted to stay longer than year (e.g. I find work) I could get a refund on the ticket, or maybe sell it on.

Unlikely you can sell the ticket - in the case of China Airlines, and discount tickets, they are usually non-refundable, though you can sometimes trade it in for 'store credit' and then get another one issued (mind you, if the fares changed, you pay the difference).
It is important for you to understand that you MUST make your intent clear at the time of purchase, as some discount tickets are absolutely not refundable or cancellable. Also, refundable fares, or tickets with a validity of longer than one year, understandably, will cost you more.
I don't see you staying longer than one year, for various reasons.

When I ran into this (not wanting to let me board due to the possibility of me not clearing thru immigration) situation with United a few years back they had me sign a document that basically said that I accepted responsibility for what ever happens should I be denied entry – be that purchasing my own ticket back out or what ever. Only after signing this doc would they allow me to check-in for the flight.
