Do I need to book an Airbnb before applying for a Thai e-Visa?

When applying for a Thai e-Visa, you can provide details of a place you intend to stay. However, it is advisable to book a stay at a listed and licensed hotel, as Airbnb rentals for less than 30 days are illegal unless the landlord has a hotel license, which is uncommon. Some users suggest booking a refundable hotel for flexibility in your application.
