TLDR : Answer Summary
If you're traveling to Thailand on a NON-O visa and are the guardian of a child with an ED visa, you should write "Guardian" as the purpose of your arrival on the arrival card. This is especially relevant when filling out the new TDAC (digital arrival card) form, which allows you to indicate your role as a guardian while including information about the child.
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 tdac.in.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.

"Yes, if you are a guardian traveling with a child to Thailand, you should enter "Guardian" on the new TDAC (digital arrival card) form. The TDAC system typically allows children to be included in their guardian's form.

Here's why and what to expect:

TDAC Requirements:

As a guardian, you'll be responsible for completing the TDAC form, including information about the child you're traveling with.

Guardian Designation:

The TDAC form will likely have a field or option for you to indicate your relationship to the child, which you should identify as "Guardian". "
