TLDR : Answer Summary

When filling out the TDAC (Thai Travel and Arrival Card) in Thailand, you can select 'Holiday' if you are on a tourist visa. Alternatively, if your purpose is different, you may choose 'Other' and specify your reason, such as 'DTV' (Digital Nomad Visa), 'Workcation,' or 'Soft Power.'
