yes essentially what my neighbor is saying regarding the numbers as well. I think immigration are doing a lot of work in the background modernizing their systems, so maybe we will get official figures soon enough.

can you point me towards the official source mate, I've struggled to find it. My figures are from a neighbor who works at immigration here in Chiang Mai.

You can always just ask the landlord for the log on details and do the TM30 yourself if you're in a longer term rental, if it works for the owner. I come and go to Singapore a lot so to reduce the burden on my landlord I just do them myself now.
