Sorry to bother hou and maybe it is not visa relatief, but I'm just gonna give it a shot.

I just recently moved from bangkok to Chachoengsao and my question is do i need to do a new TM30 statement because I've moved to an other home.

This home is from my wife so do we need to do everything again ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether they need to submit a new TM30 statement after moving from Bangkok to Chachoengsao, indicating that the new residence belongs to their wife. Responses confirmed that a new TM30 should be filed. It was pointed out that the landlord (the user's wife) typically submits the TM30, but the foreign tenant is ultimately responsible for compliance and could face fines if it is not filed, suggesting that filing it personally is advisable. There was also a mention of the TM28 form, which is a change of address notification, but this is primarily required by certain immigration offices.

I’m confused.

Isn’t the TM30 for the landlord to file (his wife) but the tenant files a TM28?

AFAIK

, the only immigration office that requires the TM28 (change of address form) anymore is the Phuket (Division 6) office.

And while you're technically correct (the land lord or property owner should file a TM30) YOU as the foreigner are fined for not having it filed. So we always recommend IF you can file it yourself.

It depends, ask your local immigration officer.
