Should I list my friend's address or a hotel address on the TDAC form when entering Thailand?

Hello, I will be entering Thailand soon and my accommodation is at a friend's house. If I write my home address in the "where are you staying" section of the TDAC form, will the immigration officer question me? Or should I make a hotel reservation for 1-3 days and write the hotel address?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When filling out the TDAC form for entry into Thailand, it's advisable to write the address where you will be staying. If it's at a friend's house, you can use that address without worry. Alternatively, if you prefer, you could write the address of any hotel in Bangkok; there is no requirement for a reservation to show. The consensus from community comments is that using a friend's address is acceptable. No immigration officer is likely to question this.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.
