@Graeme ******
- The short answer is No, it isn't, but it's a quaint idea. Only in the movies.

Take fair warning from others' replies that it may be an uphill struggle for you if your potential employer is so completely clueless about employing a foreigner. The idea that they sent you to your own embassy to ask about working in Thailand is embarrassing.

@Paul ******
- Brilliant, Monsieur Poirot, but I'm capable of remembering which passport I'm travelling on. Entry stamps are a great help with that 🤨. All passports used are in the system, and they are free to ask to see the other one/s.

@Mas****
- yep, it's not an exact science, though in fairness I've lived in different parts of SE Asia for a lot longer and on various visa types.

Be aware.. they are aware of your other passport/s. I also have more than one passport and I have often been asked to show others on entry (in Thailand and several other Asian countries).

As a general note, in a country with so many visa types, entry types, and exemptions, play your part and physically show the IO what you want to enter on. Sometimes people have a visa in their passport and don't want to use it yet. Others will be assumed exempt unless shown otherwise. Eliminate the guessing games - show your visa.

Many accommodation providers will not supply a TM30. If you are checking into a new place just before you apply for the extension/s, ask first whether they can give you a TM30 receipt or not.

- London currently state that you definitely need to produce a ticket out of Thailand.
