How many nights of accommodation do I need to show when entering Thailand as a tourist on a visa exempt basis?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I will be entering Thailand by flight, genuine tourist. I will have the money, the onward flight ticket, as for show of accomodation how many nights must i show please. I will be on a visa exempt.
Answer summary
As a visa-exempt traveler entering Thailand, you only need to show proof of accommodation for the first night of your stay. When completing the Tourism Declaration and Arrival Card (TDAC) form, you should record the name and address of the hotel where you will be staying. It's generally accepted to provide an email confirmation of your booking but keep in mind you can also just mention the hotel without a reservation. Overall, it suffices to have at least one night's booking confirmed.

Ed Dillon you dont need to print it off. There are many computers in the arrivals lounge for those who haven't yet complained the TDAC and there is no way to print it off!!! Just screen shot your email confirmation in case, the immigration officer can see your tdac on the screen in front of them
