I might be too pessimistic here. My thought was that a visa is given to a person, not to a passport
Phil *******
I would not do that.

Immigration will find it and not like it. If your motivation is to save the cost of a re-entry permit, they might see it as a way to beat the system and make you pay for it one way or another. They would not allow a person to be in Thailand under 2 different visas on 2 passports. They might even cancel your non-O.

Immigration normally does not keep original passport more than 1 or 2 days

Last year my wp was due to expire 1 month after my visa. No problem at DOL

My question was more concerning the 90-day report.

As mentionned, Chaengwattana. No TM30 required there, as far as I know.

sure. A visa on a new passport is as valid as a visa on an old one!

My point is when the IO sees that the old passport was still valid for 3 years, it might draw his attention. Changing passport to hide past visas is not exactly a secret trick...

@Michael *******
On the other side, a new passport could invite suspicion from the IO especially if it was changed before the expiration date....

Changing passport if your visa is not fully legal might work ...or not!
