According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand's website:
Long-term or permanent foreign residents in Thailand are advised to select “Thailand” under “Country of Residence,” which will be available once the system is activated.

In the past for the paper TM6 I’m sure I’ve always used my last known UK address - I doubt they’ll be making a visit to check!!
True. Lots of people have said that it's up for debate as to whether any expat - except those who actually have got permanent residence (PR) status, can truly claim to be residents of Thailand and in any event you could always just put the country of issue for your passport.
That's if the TAT is wrong and Thailand doesn't become available as a choice before 28 April.

I don't see this. If you have only lived in Thailand for say 20 years then you are only a resident in Thailand. We are anyway not talking about the legal definition of domicile so visa status should be completely irrelevant. I even claim Thailand to be my place of domicile also, having no financial or residential connections anywhere else for many years (UK HMRC could kiss my royal **** if they tried to tell me otherwise; your passport is not final proof of your domicile).
The website 'will show Thailand as an option when it goes live'? WTF. what a steaming pile of Immigration manure. Digitally speaking TIT though, and I can believe it. Heath-Robinson himself would applaud.
