How can I provide adequate accommodation proof for my 60-day tourist visa in Thailand?
I am applying for my 60 day tourist Visa. I stay at a small non-commercial muay thai gym where English is not best spoken. I contact them through WhatsApp and reserve my accommodation here. I have heard a screenshot of a WhatsApp message won't be adequate for the Visa accommodation proof. Can anybody give any suggestions of how to go around this? Should I get the gym owner to write me a letter on WhatsApp and put it into a PDF maybe?
Answer summary

Most, if not all, these gyms have an association with a small hotel. The bottom line is: if you are paying to train, then get a letter that states you are training, and that the accommodations are. You may have a problem with the gym you are choosing if it is a mom-and-pop, non-commercial gym, as IMM may want more info not just to protect IMM but also to protect you.

What kind of proof would you accept if someone guaranteed you accommodation?
What information or documentation would you expect them to provide to make that guarantee credible?

Book a hotel and screen shot it or keep the confirmation email and cancel the room

Just book a fully refundable hotel room and cancel when your visa is issued

Graham Seal no need to wait until the visa gets issued, you can cancel a hotel booking as soon as you have submitted the e-visa application

As an alternative to an accommodation booking you can show a letter of invitation from the owner but it will need to include a copy of their Thai ID and the Thai house book for where you will stay. You might find it easier just to book some hotel accommodation which you can later cancel

If I got a letter of invitation would this have to be a handwritten letter which he takes a photo of and sends me?Greg ***********
Lucas Duggleby for invitations you need to upload copies of signed blue housebook and Thai ID card of the houseowner . .It is easier to book a few first nights in a hotel and cancel as soon as you have submitted the e-visa application

the only thing I'm worried about with doing that is if I've already cancelled it and they asked to see the hotel accommodation on my phone upon arrival at immigration?

Lucas Duggleby Show them the booking if they ask which i doubt, They not going to ring the hotel to check.

Lucas Duggleby they won't but if they do ask for accommodation details they will not know what was on your visa application so you'd show your WhatsApp
