It's easy when your self-esteem is attached to your perception of Thailand, and your mind literally won't allow you find a single thing wrong with the place. Unfortunately, this also means that you have to attack anyone who does make any negative observations.
Look, I have read quite a few posts from you, especially in the political sub forums and I think you are one of the most reasonable members in here, so I'm not trying to oppose or criticize you and maybe I'm just missing something.
But in the recent years when they started with that TM 30 thing Hotel receptions must see your passport and check your legal stay in the country so they can complete TM 30 by presenting your data to the local immigration, which they must do by law within 24 hours. Some hotels might not be very serious about and some might accept a copy or a photo on your smartphone but from a strict legal point of view the guy had to do that by checking your passport and that of your friend too. It does not matter who did the booking for how many people. According to law the hotel must complete a TM 30 form for each and every foreigner who wants to stay at their place. If the Foreigner refuses to present his identifications, the hotel staff actually is obliged to inform the authorities.
