TLDR : Answer Summary

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.

you better book with a listed and licensed hotel. AirbnB rentals under 30 days are illegal, except the landlord has a hotel license (which they rarely have)
