I have a TDAC question. A mate (British passport) is arriving on Friday from Shri Lanka changing planes in KL. He seems to have conflicting info on the TDAC and would appreciate clarification whether he should show Shri Lanka or KL as departure point for his arrival flight. I believe he is changing airlines in KL. TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
When filling out the TDAC for entry into Thailand, your friend should list Kuala Lumpur (KL) as the departure point, as that is where the flight arriving in Thailand originates. Multiple comments from other users confirm that the departure country should be where the flight that actually lands in Thailand is based, which in this case is KL.
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.

You put original departure country. This is for health reason if you are coming from a country which yellow fever vaccinations are required. For flight you put the flight you enter Thailand.

It’s always the country the final flight into Thailand departs from

It's the original departure, or for example you have a stop off and decide to do it their they don't give a shit. You might have to try again after the system blows you out because you give information they don't need. That's the default system someone doesn't know how to debug. How do they check your hotel before? They can't and don't. No worries

no its not. You put departure country (origin) and then for flight you put the flight you enter country in. Transit countries do not count as departure countries
