I have no doubt that there is life after death. All religions say there is no death for the soul...the body is left behind. NDEs, which are now well-documented and scientifically studied, confirm this... There many NDE videos to listen to on YouTube... just check them out... they confirm my belief in the afterlife...

I was in the same situation last year. Chaengwattana Immigration told me I should use both passportx for entering and leaving Thailand... I made a land trip to Laos and went to the US too... No problems. Thai Departure and Arrival stamps were put in my new UK passport. While the Re-entry and Endorsement Stamps were in my old UK passport. Once the Endorsement and Re-entry expired, and I needed to travel again, I went to Chaengwattana to get a new endorsement and multiple re-entry. No problems encountered at all.

Most of us are too fat because we eat too much...

From my experience with Lao and Cambodian students renting some of my condo rooms: The new online system (from sometime last year) for registering a residence to accept foreigners, and adding the details to register new foreign arrivals and print a TM30, is far superior to the previous two systems, which now seem to be obsolete. Once the residence is registered, it just takes 5 minutes to enter the data, save it to inform Immigration, and print out a TM30 if needed... No need to go to any Immigration Office. Try going to: https://tm30.immigration.go.th/; to register the residence (need to upload Owner's ID/passport, House Registration (Tabien Baan)) and enter name, address etc), and once the residence is registered, it is easy to add foreigners checking in.

Using the new website, https://tm30.immigration.go.th/tm30/#/login, (Started mid September and superceded the previous online and Section 38 app) is VERY EASY compared to all previous methods, WORKS WELL compared to previous methods, and requires less information. Much easier to add foreign vistors or tenants too (no need for TM6 info, or arrival dates, and entry point - which, of course, the Immigration always had!. I had to re-enter the information (which I had previously entered for the old website and Section 38 app) from scratch, but that turned out to be easy. I have a blue house registration so I entered info as a Thai using my pink non-Thai ID card. All I had to upload was the scan of my Pink card, the copy of the front page of each house registration, and I also uploaded a scan of the Land Deed. Non Permanent Residents would probably upload their passport detail page and a scan of the Yellow Book and Land Deed. Register your condo/house first, confirm your email address, and start adding any foreign tenants or visitors. Only problem (same as for pervious systems) is printing a hard copy of the TM30... I just did a screen shot of the acceptance page to print out for the tenant which may be needed for visa extensions. If tenants/vistors leave the country there seems to be no need to do a new TM30 on re-entry (but I havent had to do that yet) as there is no arrival date, entry point, or TM6 number to enter. Don't waste your time going to an Immigration Office etc.
