Tell me, when flying to Phuket without a visa, do I need a return ticket? Or it depends on the airline chosen.

Return ticket is required by immigration rules. You may be asked at passport control. Or they may not ask. If asked, and he will not be and will not be allowed to buy on the spot (bad mood of the officer), then you must be deported. That is, send to where you came from. This is usually done at the expense of the airline that brought you. Airlines do not need this and therefore some of them, in some cases (depending on internal instructions, responsibility of employees, etc.), check the availability of a return ticket when checking in for a flight to Thailand. So there are a lot of factors here. And if someone managed to slip through- it does not give a 100% guarantee that you will be able to slip through in the same way.

Officially - needed. the absence of it may serve as a reason for deportation.
