TLDR : Answer Summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) requires you to specify your departure point when flying to Thailand. If you're flying from Brisbane, Australia, and transiting through Singapore, you should indicate Australia as your departure point. However, ensure you also input the flight number of your final leg into Thailand (from Singapore to your destination in Thailand). Additionally, if you're on a single ticket for the transit, it simplifies the entry process; otherwise, ensure compliance with any customs requirements in Singapore.

I would put the country you reside in. So Australia.

Enter the fight you arrive in Thailand.

So flight number from Singapore to Thailand.

I replied 29 minutes ago. But the truth of the master is: it doesn't matter! It's all automated and no one is checking.

I didn't know if it mattered but had thought as my departure was UK but transit airside in Delhi, place of departure would be UK.

@Dennis *********
ok. I actually hesitated on that question. I'll see if I can change it.

@John *******
you can go back in and make changes

Most Thai forms want to know the flight that will land you in Thailand. That's also the boarding pass that they will ask for at immigration.

As I understand it, you enter the country from which you are departing on your final flight into Bangkok (Singapore) and that same flight number. BTW, are you on a single ticket for your SIN transit, or will you clear customs and check-in separately? If the latter, you will need to complete a Singapore digital arrival card.

Others mentioned this. I've not looked at the TDAC yet but it probably wants to know where you're leaving from as in departure point. Transit isn't really an originating departure point because you've not entered that country.

Brandon says either will work. He's the oracle so I'll see if mine gets accepted on Tuesday. 😉

I'll be there almost a month this time. I have family there.

He is very knowledgeable. Very clear.

But good to know what your experience is. I’m leaving end of the month so can’t do it yet.

@Diana ******

@Lynnette ******
thanks. How long are you staying in Thailand?

@Diana ******
just checked my flight number, from UK is not same as my arrival flight number! So would probably be the country I transit through as the flight originated there. Not at all sure. Lol. I think I'll stick with Heathrow as that's where I start my flights.
