What should expats know about the 90-day reporting requirement when border bouncing in Thailand?
James *******
This is exactly what I did, so I popped into immigration after my border bounce to make sure they had everything up to date, even though I knew I should have done a 90-day report the week before (before the border bounce). Luckily, they just updated my address on the system and gave me the 90-day report paper in my passport.

@Roberto *****
 never heard you have to leave for any specific amount of time, although it up to the IO if they believe you are a genuine tourist. The good thing about Renong is they tell you before you leave if they will let you back in, so don't do it on the very last day of your permitted stay.

Ranong, but depends on what you need the border run for, i.e. visa type or visa exemption stamp?
