Apologies if this question has been asked many times.

I have family arriving from UK, they will travelling direct from Bangkok airport to Hua Hin and will be staying in my home for 2 weeks before returning to Bangkok hotel and return flight.

Do they need to file a TM30 at immigration

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, according to the TM30 regulation, any foreigner staying at a residence must be registered. While your family may not need to present a TM30 receipt unless they encounter immigration, it is recommended to register to avoid potential fines should any police checks occur.

all of them do on the name sheet. the main body of the form needs to completed by whoever is the owner, presumably your wife

As a rule, every foreigner has to be registered with TM30. But if they don't have anything to do with/at the immigration office, there wouldn't be a chance for them to need TM30 receipt.

The possible risk is, there could be a fine for not being reported IF they got into something involving police and they find you are not registered.
