Esp as many cities have taxi-mafia.

The goal of “airport taxi mafia” is normally just to overcharge you, not to rob you. In a shady location an airport taxi would likely be safer than a street taxi.

If they check the PNR they will see that the ticket has not been issued (there’s no ticket number) and thus you do not have the confirmed onward reservation. Similar to how “hold your price” works at the airlines which offer this service - you get a verifiable reservation but not a ticket number and its not a confirmed ticket.

Clickbait title, poster.

1500/month in Bangkok? You can stay in real hotels for under $30/day there.

Or you’re looking to stay in a highrise with a rooftop pool in Sukhimvit?

OnwardTicket is not much different from creating your own ticket in Photoshop. Yes it might “check” on the airline website, but it will not be a “confirmed” reservation (since you’re not getting a ticket number), and immigration regulations require a confirmed flight. And if they get serious about it, they will quickly find out that you don’t have a real ticket and did this in order to deceive the immigration - i.e. the end result is the same as if you used Photoshop, but you wasted $12.

What you should have done instead is to book a fully refundable flight out of country. This could be either:

• A fully refundable fare to any 3rd country (you don’t need to have a visa for it);
• Any direct fare to the USA leaving in more than 7 days bought on the airline website - even basic fares work but you’d have to cancel within 24 hours to get a free refund;
• Any fare using airline miles if your status is high enough to allow award redeposition without fees.

Otherwise, just use Photoshop/Paint.
