does immigration know when someone is staying in a hotel?

Take it that the immigration knows, unless your check-in is accepted against a Thai driver's license. Alternatively, if you are traveling with a Thai national, then let him/her do the check-in on their ID papers - no worries. 

The TM30 procedure can, apparently, also be handled online from a mobile phone (I have no clue though how that works); the TM30 is technically the responsibility of the host/land lord/property owner and many Thai land lords simply refuse to follow this, yet another useless, paper trail of the immigration to tell all those non-Thais, who is who on the banana boat ;-) 

Another beauty of the pink ID card, no PP number on mine and excepted by all the hotels i have checked into.

  • immigration knows all. they are everywhere. they are everyone. they are no one. 

  • This is why I let my wife check in with her details while I wait in the car!

  • If they submit the TM30  it will go into the immigration database so if/when immigration checks it will show up,some immigration offices make an issue of others seem not bothered even when returning f

Passenger, my wife's a great driver.

So why not just get your wife to check in?

I do, always

In theory, yes.  Whether immigration would check is only when they need to such as you renewing or extending your current visa.

So why keep going back? 

Because then I am obeying the law that is written down for foreigners. And I can always say I have reported. Plus, some immigration officials aren't all as lazy as the others.

The law changed way back, and as I said before why do you check in if with your wife?
