Arrived back from UK Saturday 26th October. Updated my TM 30 at CW this morning 28th. No problem, and was assured no TM 30 report required for travel inside Thailand, only when returning from abroad.

I was fined in korat as I travelled up in the car from phuket. Overnight.

They didn’t believe I drove all night. Said I had been here longer. Had no gas receipts to prove so just paid.

Now I have the app. Take 1 min to update between my two properties, phuket and korat.
