Hello. We will be arriving in Thailand with a flight departing from Marseille and a layover in Amsterdam. Which country of origin should we put on the TDAC? France or the Netherlands? Thank you all.
Answer summary
When filling out the TDAC (Travel Declaration for Arrivals in Thailand) for a flight from Marseille with a layover in Amsterdam, the consensus among community members suggests that you should list the last country you flew from before arriving in Thailand. In this case, that would be the Netherlands, provided you passed through Amsterdam's immigration. If you did not go through immigration in Amsterdam, you could opt to list France as your country of origin. Ultimately, it appears that the detail may not be heavily scrutinized, as long as essential flight information is provided.

Where are you coming from.. Amsterdam. Some will put another transit country but that's not really where you are coming from because you're coming from Amsterdam. Either way though it's usually accepted to put the transit country even if you never entered it.

Without wanting to cause confusion, it depends on your transfer at Amsterdam. If you don't actually enter through their immigration, then it would be France. If you do go through immigration, then of course it would be Netherlands as your last port of embarkation before arriving in Thailand.

We completed our TDAC both ways, neither of us were picked up on it when entering Thai immigration. They probably don't really care as they've got the most important information from you via your flight number.

They want to know what flight number they are expecting you to arrive from.

For the yellow fever you can add all the counties you have been through as asked by them.
