Hi folks. What is the form i need to complete before I travel to Thailand please?
Answer summary
Before traveling to Thailand, you need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) within 72 hours before your arrival. This form can be filled out online or at kiosks available at the airport. It is essential to use the official website to avoid scams, as some fraudulent sites may charge a fee for what should be a free submission.

Don’t be intimidated by reading some comments here😆

You can do it online within 3 days of your arrival or you can do it right at the airport , they have stands and you will just fill out the form on that screen . It happened to me , I totally forgot about TDAC , so the immigration officer directed me to those stands with a smile .

yes but I found if you put the arrival date before your departure date last minute, fly the same day it confuses the system and it worked fine. So I literally went back to the future. Lol

no more than 3 days before travel you can fill in the form at kiosks in the airport before you go to immigration, but to avoid delays best to do before

Yes, I’m embarrassed to say on my second trip to Thailand I went on one of the first sites which was sponsored and it cost money. I thought they had just changed the policy never go on a sponsored site and fill out a government for you always pay.
