What are the reporting requirements for tourist visa holders in Thailand, particularly in Chiang Mai?
Update on reporting requirements for tourist visa holders. Note this may be Chiang Mai only.
Friend arrived Tuesday and is staying with us. She dutifully trotted out to immigration on Wednesday to report her arrival. No...just landing and getting passport stamped at airport does not count.
They asked where she was staying and when they found out it was with me told her to come back Thursday with me and my passport and TM 30. They then gave her a TM 30. Obviously since I don't have computer link to report people staying with me they wanted proof?
She is on a 60 day visa. Don't know if rules are different for other types of Visas. One thing that is the same is reporting within 24 hours of landing in country is required.

Answer summary
Tourist visa holders in Thailand, specifically in Chiang Mai, must report their arrival to immigration within 24 hours. Simply getting a passport stamped upon landing is insufficient. Once a tourist arrives, they must provide information about their accommodation and may need to present the host's passport and TM 30 form for official acknowledgment.
