Is it advisable to use an Airbnb address on my TDAC when entering Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Has anybody put Airbnb as the hotel address on your tdac. ?
I did on my last one, they had harassed me more about my phone case and my gf picture on it then the tdac. But I’m thinking that’s not wise to put on the tdac

Answer summary
The conversation discusses the use of an Airbnb address on the TDAC (Thailand Declaration Arrival Card). Several commenters suggest that immigration officers do not scrutinize the details of the TDAC form closely, and there are no checks on whether the address provided is a hotel or an Airbnb. Concerns about the safety of using such an address on official forms and unrelated personal inquiries during immigration checks are also mentioned.

They don't care in the least what address you put on a TDAC, it's a passive data capture system only, no one checks it,
When they scan the data page of your passport it shows in their system whether you filed one or not, that's it.

Why would it matter? how can they know that the adress doesnt have a hotel license or is rented to you on a daily basis? its totally irrelevant and they dont care.
and why would you even use airbnb in thailand when you can get a real hotel booking via Agoda for the same prices plus a customer care that is miles better?

How would they know what specific room numbers in what specific buildings out of 100,000s of buildings are Airbnb?

The immigration officer cannot see anything you put on the TDAC, they can only see that you did or did not fill out a TDAC. And how would they know an address you put is an AirBNB or not even if they could see it?? They do not have every address in Thailand memorized.
