A question about TM6 forms.

Thailand canceled TM6 Arrival/Departure cards in the airports but not at the land border crossings. 

If one arrives in Thailand by air without getting TM6 form, how could he/she exit Thailand by land without Departure card required at the land border crossing?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Thailand has canceled the TM6 Arrival/Departure cards for air arrivals, but they are still required at land border crossings. If you arrive in Thailand by air, you will not receive a TM6 form, and thus it is not necessary to present one when exiting Thailand at a land border. However, if you entered Thailand through a land border and are exiting at another border or an airport, immigration officials will check where you entered, and may ask for your TM6 if applicable.

That's not how it works.

You don't receive a TM6 if you arrive at an airport, but you do receive a TM6 if you arrive at a land border.

When you go to leave Thailand (regardless of if it's a land border or an airport) they will look to see where you entered. If you entered at an airport they will not ask you for TM6. If you entered at a land border they will ask you for your TM6. Even if you exit at an airport but you entered at a land border, they know you received a TM6 and will ask you for it.
