They can ask anything they want and the rules are likely to get a lot stricter but so far no reliable reports of it.

You won't see 18 months on an Ed visa anymore unless its an approved university course. Probably 6 months max. So your only current option is the DTV, but dont bank on the incoming government keeping the DTV alive.

As others have said you can legally work online on a DTV, but not on a retirement or education.

You cant have a Thai bank account on a dtv and immigration dont want anything to with you if you want to do extensions, cancel the visa etc.

Got asked similar more than 10 years on a business extension. Nothing new. Was under a Taksin government so Taksin had probably made visas to troll then as well causing a crackdown.

You need to do a police report for everything like that in Thailand if you haven't already.

If the hotels you have been staying at have been filing TM30's you have no problem.

Ask your current one for a print out of the tm30 receipt and go to your local immigration office to where you are currently staying.

Be warned many hotels especially under ฿1000 dont bother filing tm30's.

What visa are you on ?
