TLDR : Answer Summary
To transfer your multi-entry business visa to a new passport in Bangkok, be aware that if your visa was issued in a sticker format (non-b multiple entry visa) from a consulate in another country, it cannot be transferred. You will need to carry both the old and new passports until the visa expires.

If you have non-b multiple entry visa itself from a consulate other country (means sticker), it cannot be transferred. You need to carry both passport until it expired.

Stamp I mention. Exactly the same scenario as the OP. As Ellie said, just carry two passports. Immigration did the rest with the stamp. This stamp is in my NEW passport. The bit I have scrubbed out has my OLD passport number - linking the two. Done three bounces with both passports and the aforementioned stamp - no problem.

Umm I departed BKK airport, old passport with non imm b multi visa + new passport. Stamp in passport from immigration officer. Old passport number written on it. I speak from experience - not guess.

Go to Immigration and update us with the outcome. Thanks.

ummm I didn’t think they would... how about stick a sticker with the same details in the new passport??? I am only going on the advice given to me by the Thai consulate in Sydney “ Dear Mr Harrison, your visa will expire after your current passport. Please see immigration in Bangkok when you get your new passport so they may transfer this visa”

, if you mean METV, yes, same. For SETV, don’t bother to think about it. It’s already just one of your history.

@Ellie ******
this is correct. Immigration (when you exit) put a stamp in your new passport and write your old passport number on it. You need to carry both as Ellie says.

YES, Immigration is not allowed to rip a page with a sticker out of a passport and staple that into a new passport. That is the reason why Visa's can not be transferred to new passports.

@Ellie ******
is that the same with a tourist visa do you know?

No you cannot. not visa itself. Only “admitted until” entry stamp can be transferred to your new passport.
