Answer summary
The original poster inquired about the implications of changing their accommodation plans on their e-visa after indicating they would go to their wife's home upon arrival, but now wished to travel to Pattaya instead. Responses confirmed that it is permissible to change accommodation plans after obtaining the visa, as long as you comply with registration requirements (TM30) within 24 hours of arrival. The consensus is that existing visa approvals remain unaffected by alterations to initial travel plans.

That's exactly what I get asked in my visa advic group almost every other day: "do I have to use the flight I uploaded into my visa application, or can I use a different flight?" . . . and "can I use a different accomodation after arrival, different than the one I listed in my TDAC?" . . . . . . . . . I can rest assure you: You can fly to Thailand on ANY flight on your visa. . . . . . . . . And I can rest assure you that you can accomodate in any hotel or friend's place after your arrival, different from the one you listed in the TDAC, as long as you get registered in this accomodation by a TM30 within 24 hours of your arrival.

It really doesn't matter. No one is checking anything except that you did a TDAC. So if you already submitted it, don't bother changing it. You're not required to maintain the same plans that were submitted as part of your visa application.
