TLDR : Answer Summary
If you have a multiple entry, one-year Non-Immigrant O visa in Thailand, you typically do not need to report to immigration for a 90-day stay as you must leave the country within 90 days of entry. However, you are required to file a TM30 form if you stay in a private residence where the landlord does not report your arrival. This must be done within 24 hours of your arrival in Thailand. Fines for non-compliance may be enforced in areas like Chiang Mai or Pattaya, especially if you ever need to visit immigration for other purposes.

Im staying at my girlfriends house in the middle of nowhere in phetchabun and I'm on a multi non o, have I got to report to immigration where I am staying? Sorry for hijacking the post! She wrote her address the last time I did a visa run on my arrival card
Or when you want the 60 day extension to visit your wife. Then they will be after the TM30.

If you're living in Chiang Mai or Pattaya and staying in a private condo/house you're going to have to report to immigration within 24 hrs every time you enter Thailand to get your TM30 updated. You can skip this if you never plan to go to immigration but, if you ever need something like a Residence Certificate for your driving license or to purchase a vehicle, you will need to go to immigration for it and will be fined. Technically you need to report in all jurisdictions but these are the only ones that seem to be handing out fines.

(y) On that visa you can't stay longer than 90 days per entry so you would NEVER do a 90 day report.
As people pointed out you would required do a TM.30 (alien in residence) form IF you live in an area where the immigration office is hard core about that. However, seeing as you can't stay longer than 90 days per entry before border-bouncing if you didn't need to go to the immigration office for anything, they wouldn't know and therefore wouldn't fine you for not filing one.

How about stating what type of year-long, multi-entry visa you have and where you got it.

90-day reports? If you leave less than 90 days after entry, never.
TM30 report. within 24 hours of arrival if you are not staying at a hotel or rooming house where the landlord has to report you.

Are you referring with this question about the discussion we just had about report to Immigration for notification of stay at a private address?
