This is super confusing.. staying in Thailand or in Myanmar? "ampoo"... ? The photo looks like a Thai ID card for foreigners; that would work to check into a hotel in Thailand, same as for other foreigners like you and me. For Myanmar though and being a Myanmar citizen, they ask for a Thailand ID? Why?

well yes, but not really of any consumer's concern, for example, making cannabis brownies requires cannabis butter.. Which is an extract. It matters for companies selling these things; a brownie is not an extract.. However an extract is required to make them. ;)

"expensive" --> this is free. From my garden.

Thailand is seriously good at agriculture; the best and cheapest cannabis in the world will come from Thailand in a year or two.

There's no real reason anymore why basic, typical quality weed would remain more expensive than tea.

@Henrik ***

It's not really difficult or require lawyers. And extract is well defined in chemistry/pharmacy, it's when you concentrate an active ingredient in a solution, typically oil or alcohol.

@Henrik ***

right, but why would you need to make an extract? You grow it, you dry it, you smoke it. It doesn't really need anything else.

@Henrik ***

is completely decriminalised, so anyone can grow it; if you can grow lettuce legally then you can grow cannabis too. (Can't make it a business/work obviously without all that paperwork, but if it don't have a problem growing a cabbage then you won't have a problem with cannabis.

They need your nationality too, otherwise the TM30 cannot be submitted. (A passport number without nationality does not uniquely identify a person.)

By going to your district office for the place where you live and getting a yellow house book done. This will require cooperation from the home owner. The house book already has your ID on it, and at the same time you can then make a pink ID card.

Will start doing that too. (And you don't even need to tell them about not doing a TM30; without a passport number or nationality they can't submit one.)

It's basically corruption and an attempt at scamming money. The TM30 database is their own ducking system; it really doesn't require a piece of paper provided by the tenant to show data that they can just query for. Never mind that the TM30 requirement (and potential fine for failing to do it) applies to the hotel/host/landlord, not the tourist/guest/tenant.

Yet they bother tourists with it, trying to scam a couple sad Baht when it turns out a TM30 has not been filled.
