So here's the situation, I live in Samut Prakan and have used the TM.30 aligned with my condo for doing extensions and using it to report to immigration every time I re-enter Thailand. Recenlty I hit a snag where I mistook a 1 for a 7 and overstayed by three days. I immediately realised my error and went to the nearest immigration office to avoid paying higher fines. But we were on holiday at the time and had to create a new TM.30 from the hotel booking we had in the other province in order for me to get the extension.
Next month, I’ll be traveling to my home country. When I return to Thailand, will I be able to use the original TM.30 receipt of notification from my Samut Prakan address at the Samut Prakan Immigration Office? Or did the TM.30 from the other province automatically void the old one, meaning I’ll need to submit a new one?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has concerns about the validity of their original TM.30 after mistakenly overstaying and subsequently creating a new TM.30 while traveling in Thailand. Community members suggest that generally, a new TM.30 may be required upon re-entry to Thailand, but policies can vary by immigration office.
You were not on "overstay" or did not miss your extension. You missed a 90 day report which is a minor misdemeanour in comparison resulting in a 2000B fine if you were 8 days or 8 months late in reporting.
