Do you need to report TM30 when returning to Chiang Mai after traveling within Thailand?
Was at Chiang Mai immigration today for TM30 check in after spending a week in out of Thailand then 2 night in BKK. Immigration officer specifically told me no need to check in for TM30 if I’m coming from spending time in another province and returning home to the same address in Chiang Mai.
Answer summary
A recent experience at Chiang Mai immigration revealed that if you return to Chiang Mai from another province within Thailand, you do not need to check in for TM30, according to an immigration officer. However, this policy seems to vary across different locations, as others reported needing to submit TM30 notifications for any travel, even within the country. The discussion includes mixed experiences from places like Phuket and Krabi, highlighting inconsistencies in the enforcement of TM30 reporting.

I think I should delete that comment where I said more and more offices wer getting on the band wagon about not filling TM30's for in country travel. It seems only a few do that and everyone else does it every time they travel :(

This week Phuket informed me to TM30 myself whenever I travel to and from my homes in Pathumthani and Phuket - the app helps for sure.

What helps also is NOT giving your passport or personal data to places where you stay (have a thai reserve the room, check in, get the key etc) then you're sure they didn't do a TM30 on you :P

Seems more and more offices are getting on the "only re-apply for a TM30 when you come in from abroad" bandwagon..

Korat Immigration must of missed that memo, they are not on the bandwagon yet.

ALWAYS check with your specific immigration office to see what their policy is..
