Diana, Your question about whether you are obligated to do a 90 day report is a valid one. I'll try to answer it here
Answer summary
In Thailand, expats must file a 90-day report if they are in the country on the 90th day since their last report. This obligation has no grace period; thus, leaving during the 7 days after the due date does not exempt one from reporting. The report can be submitted in person, via mail (if allowed by the local immigration office), or online (if the office participates in this program). Failure to report can result in a fine.

OP
Here's how you mail in your 90 day report in Bangkok
IF you are in the country on the 90th day when your report is due, you need to report. Period end of story. There is NO grace period.
You are confusing the window of opportunity to report in person (15 days before down until 7 days after) with a grace period, it is not.
You cannot think that leaving within the 7 days after your report is due means you are not obligated to do a report.
I have had friends erroneously think that and when they returned to thailand to do their subsequent 90 day report the immigration officer noticed they hadn't filed a previous report and were fined 2000 baht
