TLDR : Answer Summary

If you are staying at your girlfriend's house in Ubon, you do not need to book a hotel. However, your girlfriend must file a TM30 registration within 24 hours of your arrival at the local immigration office or online, assuming the house is registered for such an action. The TM30 is necessary to report a foreigner's stay in Thailand. While some commenters noted that they have not personally notified the village headman when staying with locals, it is generally advisable that the head of the household knows of your presence, especially in more rural areas.
