TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry was about the website used to obtain an ETA for Thailand, mistaken for a chargeable service. Numerous comments clarified that Thailand does not have an ETA but a Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) available for free on the official Thai government website. Users emphasized avoiding third-party sites that charge fees and shared their successful experiences with the TDAC application process.
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.

Search for TDAC Thailand on Google and skip the sponsored ads at the top. Just scroll down a few lines.

Thailand doesn't use ETA. Are you confusing it with the TDAC?
Andy ************
If you're on an ETA it's a scam
Kerry *******
When you click a site that charges you, it's usually a third party site. Looks for the Thai government site.

The first problem would be that there is no ETA for Thailand. There's a digital arrival card (TDAC).
