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?
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.

you really think the immigration officer you are showing your passport to is going to phone your hotel?!!. I just arrived from Japan and I filled out my tdac and as long as it's in the system they don't ask, only to see your passport
