Hope it's ok I post this questions here.
We are going to visit Huay Yang. approx 100 km south of HH. We will arrive the 25:th. Today I got a mail from friends there telling us that "we have to register at the police station within 24 hours from the time we arrive". Otherwise we will have to pay 800 baht och 1600 baht.
Have you heard anything about this? Is it because of the election? From what we heard it's an old law but which is not normally followed, but now it suddenly is. Strange?
Lina,
I think the answer to your question is no, don't worry about it. Immigration would have no idea of your movements within Thailand because there are no checks made at the provincial borders, only when you enter and leave the country. There is an old law that has apparently been 'abused' by some at Hua Hin immigration with some people but by the sound of it you are going to be either arriving on a 30 day visa exemption stamp or a tourist visa, and even if you are on another type of visa still don't worry about it. If in any doubt about this, contact either the Thai Embassy or consulate in your country, or your own Embassy when you arrive here. I hope that eases your mind.

Or were you just trying to be circumspect? (It didn't work).
Where should it be - IDC? Only joking. However, as always I'm a bit behind the times, but this seems clear cut legally - unless someone else can find a more recent pronouncement: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en ... =alienstay
