Hello, I have a question regarding touring by motorcycle in Thailand. I've lived in Thailand before, for years. When there were no real requirements for reporting your living address. But now, I read, there is some form you have to fill out, or somehow report WHERE you live. This seems ok in most circumstances, but what if I want to simply tour independently around by Motorbike or Train for 3 months. Meaning, ride the country and stay in hotels for days or weeks at a time. Is this now impossible (not impossible, but difficult?)
TLDR : Answer Summary
Touring independently in Thailand on a motorcycle or train for three months is feasible, although there are some reporting requirements related to your living address. Hotels typically manage the necessary TM30 reporting when you stay, as they automatically file this for you when you present your passport. However, it is still important to be mindful of the requirement to report your address every 90 days while in the country. As long as you stay in hotels, this process should be straightforward. Some commenters have noted that experiences with registration can vary by immigration office, but generally, as long as your hotel does the reporting, you should not face difficulties. For additional concerns, motorcycle touring groups can provide more specific information on visa issues and addressing any other queries you might have.
