ORIGINAL POSTER
My parents are planning to visit around the end of December and will be staying with us in our rented Apartment.

In the TDAC, we'll fill our Apartment address itself. Just wanted to check if the airport immigration will ask them to show any documents, as I see officers sometimes check hotel booking document.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers may be asked for accommodation details upon entry to Thailand, specifically an address where they will be staying. For a visit by your parents, you can provide your apartment address as their accommodation, and while hotel booking documents are sometimes checked, it is generally acceptable as long as the address is recognized as valid. Some users suggest it might also be helpful to write a letter inviting your parents to stay with you for added clarity.
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 agents.co.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.
