TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks advice on how to provide accommodation proof for a Thailand visa when staying at a friend's house instead of a hotel. Comments suggest obtaining an invitation letter from the friend detailing their address and relationship, which can be included with the visa application. Others humorously mention that the immigration process could be lenient if one is clever in their approach. However, it's emphasized that for travel under certain regulations (like Sandbox or quarantine), booking an official accommodation is necessary.

You have to book accommodation first for either Sandbox Phuket or Quarantine in Bangkok this will cover your accommodation question for the Thai Pass

 not true, they want the accommodation you're staying at after your sandbox or ASQ also.

Re read your answer, actually you are correct lol

For the TP all you need is the quarantine hotels, then for immigration you need to supply next address.

I'm assuming you mean accommodation after sandbox or quarantine when you arrive.

Ask them to write you an invitation letter detailing the address and relationship. You can then include this in your visa application.

 yes you're required to quarantine if you're vaccinated. They eliminated the option to take a test when you land and go wherever you want because of Omicron. If you're vaccinated and not coming from Africa you can do 7 day quarantine in Bangkok, you must pay for it. It starts around 28,000₿ and goes up from there depending on the quarantine hotel you choose.

 yes, if you mean the hotel after your quarantine or sandbox. You can't stay at your friend's house for sandbox or quarantine, only after.

 there are 2 ways to enter Thailand. 7-14 day quarantine in a hotel room that you cannot leave, or Phuket sandbox for 7 days if you qualify where you must stay in an SHA+ hotel in Phuket but can go anywhere in Phuket after you get your negative PCR test after you land.
