What is the importance of filling out the TDAC form before entering Thailand?

FYI!!

Please make sure to fill out the TDAC form before entering Thailand.

Today (May 2) at Suvarnabhumi, they only asked me to show the passport and TDAC—nothing else was questioned. All they said was "Oh you hold DTV. Enjoy and don't forget to fill TDAC next time too."

If you haven’t filled it out online before reaching immigration, they’ll ask you to do it first. Quite a lot of people hadn’t completed the TDAC form. It seems like the line at the TDAC filling area is even longer than at immigration.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) is essential for travelers entering Thailand, as demonstrated by a recent experience at Suvarnabhumi Airport where only the passport and TDAC were checked during immigration. It is advisable to complete the TDAC form online prior to arrival to avoid delays, as many travelers seem unprepared. The process is streamlined compared to the old paper forms, taking under five minutes to complete, and helps speed up immigration procedures.
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.

It’s such a such a simple form to fill out. Literally takes 3 mins to complete. I think it’s a step in the right direction, much better than the old paper arrival cards!
