I was at the immigration office some time ago and there were a few foreigners and they were send back to Bangkok as their hotel did not report to the immigration of their stay. They should solve the problem with the hotel and than come back to the immigration, Bit strange situation as a lot of foreigners don't have anything to do with the administration of the immigration and the hotels. Besides that we spoke with a Thai woman who stayed with her foreign husband several months always in a hotel in Chonburi. But the hotel she said did not do the reporting to the immigration, as she was not registered because she did not wanted to pay tax. So in fact foreigners are being held responsible for something they don't have to deal with. It is a regulation between hotel and immigration, but it looks the same as the foreign tax that they want to introduce, were airlines should collect the taxes and Thailand only benefits, here the administration is a mess too.. The TDAC should be sufficient and problems should be solved by the immigration instead of by the tourists, who are not responsible for the actions of Thais.
