TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat shared their experience of moving from Chonburi to Udon Thani and being fined 2800 baht for not reporting their change of address to the local immigration office. Other expats commented, confirming that such a fine seemed unusual as they believed notifying the new immigration office should suffice, and that Chonburi immigration is not typically informed when leaving a province. The discussion highlighted the importance of informing the immigration office of a change in residence within 24 hours to avoid penalties.
every day a different pay day..always expect the unexpected

I have no idea how they can fine you in that case. I've never heard of needing too notify the immigration office in the province you are leaving that you won't be residing in that province any longer. Saying that though, nothing surprises me anymore.

That's a new one on me. I also made the same move from Pattaya to Udon 3 years ago and I didn't get any fines when I've been in immigration. I've been several times for extensions etc. Nothing was said.
do you inform Udon immigration if you leave for a few days and come back ? I never have done.

Yeah Udon have always been very pleasant to deal with when I've been there. Also not too busy most if the time.

hotels automatically report for you. the amount i guess depends on the duration you have been at the new location without reporting

Sorry for asking but I not understand. If you go from your permanent address for a 5 days vacation and you stay in a hotel you must do something or hotel do for you?
And if not hotel what we must do alone?
And something more. I told you before I pay 800 because home owner not do.
you are NOT obligated to inform your old immigration office that you moved. you are obligated to inform the new immigration office that you moved to their area within 24 hours of you showing up there. You would have had to file a TM.28 change of address AND a TM.30 alien in residence
