After reading this I followed this link below and found out every time you leave your home to travel around Thailand you will have to redo the TM30 when you get back..

Seems like a lot of reporting to do if like myself I plan to be getting around a lot🤔

This explains the TM30 plainly..

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether a TM30 registration is required for individuals with a yellow house book in Thailand. It clarifies that a TM30 is necessary to report your address for stays in different locations, even if you have a yellow house book, which serves as a certificate of residence. Commenters emphasize that the TM30 requirement varies by immigration office policies, and some may require registration every time you leave and return to the same address.

Yellow house book has nothing to do with TM30.

Each immigration office has their own policy on when you have to do a TM30. You should ask your immigration office what their policy is. Some want it every time you leave your home and return to the same address. Some only want it if you leave Thailand and return to the same address.

a yellow housebook and the TM30 registration of you staying at a certain accomodation, have NOTHING to do with each other. A TM30 ist a registration of your adress at any location inside Thailand if you travel or if you arestaying permanently at the given address. A Yellow housebook is just a subsidiary of the "certificate of residence" from Immigration, certfying where you are "usually" staying and being "at home"
