TLDR : Answer Summary

A TM30 form is typically required when foreigners stay in Thailand, but it primarily falls under the responsibility of the property owner to report your stay. If you're only visiting for a month and don't plan to visit immigration offices, you likely won't need it personally.

Supply it to whom? Are you planning on applying for an extension or something else?

The TM30 form remains mandatory in Thailand and is a legal requirement under the Thai Immigration Act of 1979. The primary reporting obligation lies with the landlord, hotelier, or owner of the accommodation where a foreigner is staying.

The only time a TM30 is needed is when you're going to your immigration office for something. If you have no plans to visit immigration and are just staying for a month, then you have no real reason to pursue a TM30. It is still a legal requirement though for the property owner to report you using TM30.
