Does your tenant inviting a friend to stay a few nights infringe the law ?
1. Immigration is highly, highly unlikely to "come knocking at the door". 2. In the extremely unlkely event they do, it would not be in relation to thd Hotel Act but rather looking for overstays and (unlikely but possible) TM 30s. Hotel licensing law is not Immigration's responsibility to enforce. Investigations of short term rentals are usually triggrred by neighbor vomplaints and usually in context where there have bern a series of such rentals over time. Emphasis on the word rental. 3. Either you or your tenant could submit a TM30 for the guest. Can be done in minutes, online. (Need to create an account first, if you haven't already). -

138 Deaths in First Four Days of Songkran’s “Seven Dangerous Days”
Pictures courtesy of DDPM. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has reported a total of 138 deaths and 1,002 injuries from 1,000 road accidents across Thailand during the first four days (11–14 April) of the Songkran festival’s road safety campaign. On 14 April alone, the fourth day of the campaign themed “Safe Driving, Accident-Free Thailand”, there were 241 reported crashes, resulting in 249 injuries and 34 fatalities. Speeding and drunk driving remain the leading causes of road crashes, accounting for 44.40% and 24.90% of incidents respectively. Poor visibility contributed to 14.52% of the crashes. Motorcycles were involved in a staggering 77.20% of all crashes, with most incidents occurring on straight roads (85.89%), particularly on highways and rural village roads. Crashes were most frequent during the late afternoon and evening, especially between 15:00 and 18:00. The age group most affected was 30–39 years, accounting for over 20% of casualties. Bangkok recorded the highest number of deaths (13), while Phatthalung reported the highest number of crashes (36) and Lampang the most injuries (40). Notably, 24 provinces reported zero fatalities so far. The Deputy Minister of Education, Surasak Phanchareonworakul, who heads the Songkran safety centre, said overall numbers had declined from last year, showing positive results from stricter enforcement. In response, authorities have intensified efforts to curb risky behaviour through community checkpoints and family-based monitoring systems. Law enforcement agencies have been ordered to strictly enforce traffic laws, especially concerning speeding, traffic signal violations, and illegal alcohol sales, including to minors under 20. In cases where underage individuals are found drinking and driving, police and local officials have been instructed to escort them and their vehicles home to prevent further incidents. Provinces have also been urged to closely monitor public water-splashing activities, prepare for the mass return of travellers to Bangkok and other economic zones, and ensure that public transport is both sufficient and safe. Operators of buses and vans have been instructed to check the mechanical condition of vehicles and screen drivers for alcohol consumption or sedative drug use before duty. The government also called for the establishment of roadside safety and rest stops along major highways to support drivers on long journeys. Deputy Director-General of DDPM, Saharat Wongsakunwiwat, stressed that today, marking the traditional Thai New Year, is the final official day of the Songkran festival, and many are expected to begin travelling back to Bangkok. Authorities are urging drivers to plan ahead, monitor traffic updates, and rest every four hours for at least 30 minutes during their journey. Amid forecasts of thunderstorms and strong winds in many parts of the country, including Bangkok and surrounding provinces, motorists have also been warned to avoid risky travel routes and remain alert to weather-related dangers such as lightning, falling trees, and unstable billboards.

A cry for help, to the Universe, from Planet Earth.
Maybe this is one of Homo Sapiens major flaws, being so quick to resort to violence. -
