Do you need to show cash and a return ticket when flying to Nha Trang, Vietnam from Bangkok?

TL;DR
The check usually happens at the airline check-in counter in Bangkok, not at Vietnamese border control: staff may ask about your travel purpose, whether you're returning to Thailand, and request proof of cash and a return ticket or hotel booking.
What the community said
A family with a teenage child flying ThaiVietAir from Bangkok was asked at check-in about their travel purpose and whether they planned to return to Thailand, and were asked to show cash and either a return ticket or hotel booking. They booked a 3-night hotel stay on the spot and were allowed to check in — this happened at the Bangkok airline counter, not at Vietnamese immigration.
