no idea but a thai owned hotel

 

wouldn't they want to pretend and go through the motions of passport info?

 

is reporting a foreign national staying at their hotel somehow connected to paying taxes?

I would say taxes are a big part of it, and probably why a large number of condo landlords are not filing tm 30's..

You think immigration and taxation share info? Seems a bit to sophisticated for Los

You're probably right but with the explosion of illegal rentals of foreign owned condos decimating the hotel industry, it has woke them up. The cocking of the .44 today indicates to me that people better get their ducks in a row, this isn't like hiding income from your home country.

Saves you TM30 problems when you get back home ???
