But 500k is less than the 800k retirement extension.

But the 500.000k is money just given away with little in return, at least the 800.000k is still your own to take out if you decide to leave Thailand, which is likely because of the strong baht or decide to use a different method, ie, maybe change to a visa based on  marriage, or marriage extensions.

Do you still need to fill a tm30 if your staying in your wife/ girlfriends house 

Yes you do

I live in Chiang Mai and when i joined Thailand Elite in 2016 i submitted my TM30 during my first 90 day report (fine 1500 if i remember correctly). I was told by Star Visa that trips within Thailand and returning to your home address won't have any issues with TM30 in the future. There is no need to resubmit if returning to the same address after a trip. Since then I have travelled within Thailand every month, staying in hotels and travelled abroad about 4 times a year. I have never had any mention of tm30 since and my 90 day reports have always been accepted. I have a report coming up in 2 weeks so if things change i will report back.
