Was that at Chaeng Wattana immigration in Bangkok?

I never seen a report of them wanting a hotel to report your presence there to apply for the extension.

Sounds like Immigration offices in the sticks just make things up so as to make your life difficult whereas in Bangkok they have a more solid grasp of reality

What if I have been staying at my friend's house and never reported to immigration? Will this be a problem and affect my extension at BKK?

you might get fined 800 bhat for not registration the house you are staying at after 24 hours of arrival in Thailand ,the house owner should of done it ,but you are the one who might still get fined when you do your extension.

It will not effect your extension.

Bangkok immigration does ask for or check that the registration has been done when you apply for the 30 day extension.

I cannot see why you would get a fine.
Just apply for the extension.

I think he means, does Chang Mai fine people for not reporting their address and/or the owner of the house (or wife?) for not reporting the presence of an alien at the residence.  Someone familiar with that office can advise.

    Its the owners responsibility to report who is staying at their place , it only becomes the stayers responsibility if they stay longer than three months .

Can you please confirm, I was aware that hotels and the like were required to report your stay, but I did not realize private citizens were also required to do this. Is this correct, my thai girlfriend must report to immigration that I am staying at her house?

 

In addition, if this is correct, is there an official form that must be filled in / lodged with immigration?

 

Thank you

I'm assuming the immigration office in krabi will be able to give me the 30 day extension just as easily as in Bangkok?  I could do it in bkk but u have to drive to the edge of town here. in krabi its so convenient.  will krabi do the extension?

 

Yes they will, you don't have to travel to BKK

thanks for update I think i was on google map and got some information that might be wrong. would be totally crazy to close samui office. NICE TO KNOW ITS OPEN AS USUAL

 

You are not the first person to be confused by Google's "now closed" indication against businesses/offices on Google Maps. It just indicates that it is outside normal opening hours at the time the map is displayed. Usually, Google's interface design is very good, but I think they have missed the confusion this causes.

I need to get the 30 day extension of my tourist visa at the new Samui immigration office soon. Does immigration now require 2 photos to do this, as I have read elsewhere? It used to be only one photo last year, I believe. Does anyone know if there are shops near the new office that do photo & photocopying services?

Only migrant workers can use the Lad  Prao immigration office. The only office in Bangkok where an extension can be done is at Chaeng Wattana.

But as far as I know Indian nationals cannot get a 30 day extension of their 60 day tourist visa entry.

From Bangkok immigration website.

Quote
In the case of tourism purposes:
Criteria for Consideration
The alien:
(1) Must have been granted a tourist visa (TOURIST).
(2) Must not be of a nationality or type prescribed by the committee monitoring official
proceedings of officers of the Immigration Bureau.
( In case of the following natinalites ,extension of stay permit will not be longer than 7 days ; Sri Lanka ,India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Iran,Nepal,Togo,Nigeria,Uganda )

Thanks a lot for your reply....Is there any other option that i can stay bangkok again like visiting laos or combodia or aaply study visa to learn thai...but i dont wanna study bachelor or master degree.

thanks

You will not be able to apply for a visa at any nearby country. India is on the list of countries that its citizens can only get visas there.

See: http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/upload/pdf/RestrictedCountries2013.pdf

You could leave and re-enter to get a 15 day visa on arrival for a fee of 1000 baht.
