Will renewing my passport affect my unused DTV visa in Thailand?

DTV Visa Passport Renewal Visa Validity Travel Documents Expat Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I have a DTV visa, however my passport is due to expire within 1 year. So, I was thinking of getting the passport renewed. 

But I'm worried would it cause any problems as I haven't used the visa yet, or carrying the blank new passport with the old one suffice.

Thanks 😊
