Just an FYI: I was able to go 'self-file' a TM.30 at Chaengwattana with just my lease agreement. I did get an 800baht fine because I entered the country on Oct 19 <- a little more than 24 hours ago :P , but at least I got a receipt..

I know that Bangkok isn't hard core about the TM.30's being filed BUT if the way the wind is blowing they could be at any time. 

In other news, I had signed up on the online TM.30 program, using Tod Daniels spelled in thai (ท้อด แดเนียลส์) :O 

When I got home from Chaengwattana I noticed I received an email saying I was approved to use the system :/ except I'd just filed a TM.30 in person a few hours before <- talk about karma :O

Answer summary

A user reports successfully self-filing a TM.30 at Chaengwattana using just their lease agreement, but incurred an 800 baht fine for not filing within 24 hours of entering Thailand. They noted that while Bangkok isn't strict about TM.30 filings, the regulations could change. Additionally, they mention registering for the online TM.30 system and receiving approval shortly after filing in person, highlighting the unexpected nature of visa regulations.
