Keith,
They did want it...
.. then they didn't...
It is a Thai Immigration form and I have no doubt that it will soon be in general use - the intent could not be clearer:-
Foreign National Information
This form shall be used for making record of information of every alien entering and staying in the Kingdom of Thailand and shall be submit with Notification of Residence for Aliens
(section 37 , 38 of Immigration Act, B.E. 2522), or 90-days Notification, or Extension of Stays (all purposes), or Re-Entry Permit, or in all cases involving alien labors.

Here are sections 37/38. Please specify to me exactly where the information in starman's form is required:

in reference to the provision of paragraph 1 of this
Section , the alien must be notified by
a written notice. In the case a
written notice cannot be sent to the
alien , yet the competent official has post a notice to
the alien’s place of stay , as previously notified , and
forty – eight hours , have passed , it is assume
d that the alien has received said notice.
Section 37 :
An alien having received a temporary entry pe
rmit into the Kingdom must comply with the
following :
1. Shall not engage in the occupation or tempor
ary or employment unless authorized by the

concerning alien employment provided hereafter , the
granting of work privileges must comply with the
law concerned.
2. Shall stay at the place as indicated to t

than ninety days, such alien must notify the

possible upon expiration of ninety days. The alien is
required to do so every ninety days. Where there is
an Immigration Office , the alien may notify a co
mpetent Immigration Official of that office.
The provision of ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) shall not apply to
any cases under Section 34 by any conditions as

In making notification under this Section , the alien may make notification in person or send a
letter of notification to the competent official , in
accordance with the regulations prescribed by the

Section 38 :
The house – master , the owner or the possess

mporary in the Kingdom has stayed , must notify the

with that hours , dwelling place or
hotel, within 24 hours from the time of arrival of
the alien concerned. If there is no Immigration Office
located in that area , the local police official for that area must be notified.
In case the house , dwelling place , or hotel wher
e the alien has stayed under provision of Para.1
is located within the Bangkok area , such notificatio
n must be reported to the competent official at the

Making notification , in reference to the Para

For Example, where is the specified requirement for Motorcycle brand in the Starman form section 2.5? I don't see it so I don't understand how it can be clearer?
