TLDR : Answer Summary
When submitting your TDAC for a flight to Bangkok, you should submit it based on your original departure country, which is the USA, even if you have a layover in Japan.
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.

Immigration told me the originating flight from my home country is the one to use and thatโ€™s the one Iโ€™ve been using for many years๏ฟผ

Frankly, it doesn't really matter either way. No one is checking it, and it's all automated. You fill it out with whatever you want and get the QR code and you are done.

its the flight entering Thailand that you put in and in this case you would put in Japan.

Did you really think you should fill out the Thai arrival card when you fly to Japan?
