can i get a 72 hour waiver if my follow on country does not require a visa?

Question

I am US Citizen living in Singapore.  I will fly from Singapore to Beijing (to see Great Wall) and from Beijing to Chiang Mai, Thailand.  I think I qualify for the 72 hour waiver while in China, but I am not sure since Thailand does not require one for US Citizens, so I won't be able to show one in my passport when arriving to Beijing.  I will have proof of purchase of my follow on airline tickets to Chiang Mai though.  Does it sound okay?

Hi, you are suggested to provide a supporting document showing your visa exemption for entering Thailand if any. In my opinion, it is ok as the airport and your airline shall be familiar with such rules.
