If in Chiang Mai you will pay a Baht 1600 fine and complete the TM 30 application. So don't do that here.

Reminds me of the time I received someone's employment visa information on recycled paper.

If you want to travel in and out of Thailand as you visit other countries I'd suggest a multi entry Tourist Visa. Valid for 60 days but unlike the single entry you can come back to the Kingdom should you desire .

Tod,thank you for your clarification and explanation ...very helpful...as always.

Very well administered group. Likely the best that I know. Who would want to block the administrator ?

You might also check the Thai Immigration website if you haven't already. It's in English and pretty specific. Good luck...Chok Dee.

Not certain. Best to check Thailand Immigration or Embassy website.

We can do that until our visa expires if we haven't changed addresses. Informed by Immigration when TM 30's became the vogue as I was filling out a new one at the Promenade office second floor. That's what I now do.

I live at home with my family ( Thai wife ) have a non immigrant 0 based on marriage and do not miss going to the CM Promenade Immigration Office when ever I return to the Kingdom as required by the Thai authorities. We can bring the same TM 30 if we haven't changed addresses. No need to fill out a new one if you meet that criteria. They require a new one only when your visa expires. If you are a little later then 24hrs there shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't push it more then a week and I myself go within 48 hrs to be done with it.
