ORIGINAL POSTER

I got a friend coming in as a tourist for 30 days. Does he have to do his own Tm30? Or the hotel or hostel will do it.

TLDR : Answer Summary

When a tourist arrives in Thailand, the accommodation provider (hotel or hostel) is generally responsible for submitting the TM30 form to report the guest's presence to the immigration office. Therefore, your friend does not need to do this himself.
