TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the implications of using a Thai ID card instead of a passport when checking into a hotel in relation to immigration records and the TM30 filing. Responses indicate that the immigration office primarily focuses on current addresses rather than past filings, and using an ID card generally does not affect their records.

Using an ID card won’t show up anywhere but their own records.

Hotels can be fined up to 10.000 Thb a foreign guest for not register them at Immigration. Please be so nice to provide the needed documents, thanks in advance.

The immigration office doesn't care about past times when a TM30 should have been filed, only the current address you're staying at.

MOST immigration offices went to you needing to file a TM30 ONLY when you come back in from out of the country NOT when you travel around thailand.

Check with your immigration office to see how they handle it
