Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing the TM27 and TM28 forms. I thought about making this video after reading a recent comment on our channel. "I don't know anyone who has been taken to task for not reporting returning home from a registered hotel stay. I have heard that are (I think they meant) I heard that there are very few Thai Bureaucrats assigned to enforce this rule. It can often be used as an alternative to address other infractions. Any thoughts?"

Well no, what happened there yeah there was a time where people were getting taken to task for not reporting going from a hotel back to one's house. If you go back into like 2018-19, '17 - '18 - '19 right around in there '18 in earnest if I recall correctly, TM30 was a big deal. They had sort of rediscovered it legally speaking and began to enforce it and then part and parcel of that was what we called the TM28 form which had to do with if one changed addresses within Thailand. So if you stayed at a hotel and then went back to your own house, you had to file form TM28 in order to sort of deal with that. What happened there regulatorily as we reported at the time, was that they created the TM27 form, got rid of the TM28 form; the TM27 form only applied to Illegal entrants to the country and effectively we got rid of this really quite honestly, cumbersome procedure of dealing with the forms associated with address changes here in the Kingdom of Thailand. 

So as of the time of this video, TM28 is effectively a dead letter; TM27 only applies only to those arriving illegally. Basically if you just deal with your TM30 for your standard address here in Thailand, you are probably pretty well going to be all right.
