TLDR : Answer Summary
If you stay at your girlfriend's house in Ubon, she must register your stay by filing a TM30 with the local immigration office within 24 hours of your arrival. This registration is crucial for compliance with Thai immigration laws. You can provide the address of the house instead of a hotel and register online if she has registered for TM30 access. Generally, there are relaxed immigration practices in Ubon, but to avoid any potential fines, it's best to ensure the registration is completed.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Nothing else regarding the TDAC, but the owner of the house where you stay, has to do a TM30 registration at the local immigration office within 24 hours of your arrival.

You guys are harsh, its not Bangkok. Everything will be fine whether 1 day or 90 days. Easy enough to verify your address at reporting. If want to be safe of a small fine, report it in a month & tell them you just arrived. I lived Ubon 15+ years, all is easy.
Dwayne ********
No. Just report it next 90 day report. Ubon has a very lax immigration.

this is the webpage of Immigration where your GF can register her house

So, your girlfriend got the blue housebook She first has to register the house in the TM30 Online System. She will receive a login-ID and a password. She will be asked by the system to change the password.

After this is done, your girlfriend can report your arrival at her house in the TM30 online system - as having arrived at this accomodation.

You, the foreigner, usually don't register the house in the system by yourself, as you would need the blue housebook and the data it contains to do so.

However, if your girlfriend gives you the login-ID and the password, you can register every of your arrivals by yourself.

Instead of this proceedings, the two of you could also visit Immigration, together with her blue housebook and her Thai ID card and you with your passport, and register the TM30 directly at the Immigration office
Phil ******
No and don't forget your TM30 too

Just use the first address you will stay at on arrival in Thailand whether it is a hotel or a private house

. . . you are dancing around the relevant processing . . . . . . . .the owner/keeper of the blue housebook first has to register the house in the TM30 Online System. He/she will receive a login-ID and a password. He/she will be asked by the system to change the password. After this is done, the owner/landlord/friend can register the visiting or renting foreigner in the TM30 online system as having arrived at this accomodation. The foreigner usually doesn't register the house in the system by himself, as he would need the blue housebook to do so, however if the owner of the house hands the foreigner the login-ID and the password, he can register every of his arrivals by himself . .

If the house is in a village she will have to inform the village headman
