Greetings.

TDAC Questions:

1. When I fill in the Country/Territory where you boarded field, do I put the country I'm departing from or the last country I'm arriving from in Thailand (since I have a connecting flight)?

2. Related to that, the flight number field is the one from the country I'm leaving from or the last flight I'm taking to Thailand?

3. In the visa number field, do I put the number of the last visa extension (Non O visa extension based on marriage), or the visa number that is from two years ago, a sticker from Laos (btw, the extension is on that visa)?

Thank you.
Answer summary
This post addresses questions regarding how to fill out the TDAC (Thailand Declaration Arrival Card) form when entering Thailand, particularly about listing the country of boarding, the flight number, and the visa number. Multiple comments suggest that when filling out the form, travelers can use the departure country of their last flight or the last country they were in before arriving in Thailand, as it is not strictly enforced. Furthermore, the flight number can correspond to either the departing flight or the last flight taken to Thailand, and the visa number field is not mandatory and can often be left blank.

When it first came in it was advised to put the origin country as the one you started from eg manchester uk. The flight number would be the one you landed in Bangkok in my case the doha flight.

That makes sense to me too, the country you last used your passport to leave and the arrival flight in Bangkok. With connecting flights you don't leave airside.

I put the last flight arriving in Thailand....(exemple Doha when connecting flight from Doha to TH).

The visa number and departure flight are optional, you could leave it blank. Only the red asterix * are mandatory.

yup. It isn't that hard is it? But as Tod says, they don't really give a shit as long as you have your boarding pass and passport on arrival at IO desk.
