Do I need to swap my visa stamps to my new passport immediately after renewing it?

I have renewed my passport, I have a Thai wife 1 year extension. My old passport is not out of date but at extension time there would be only 6 months validity, hence the early passport renewal. My question, am I obliged to swap stamps immediately or can I do that at my ease?
Answer summary
After renewing your passport, you are not required to transfer your stamps immediately; however, it is advisable to do so before your next departure from Thailand or prior to your next 90-day report. Additionally, remember to file a TM30 with your new passport number.

someone once mentioned that one should notify your bank(s) with the new passport # as well. ???

While there is no gun to your head to run right to the immigration office and get the stamps transferred you certainly should do it before you leave the country OR before your next 90 day report (and file a TM30 too with the new passport number ;) )
