I'm in Chiang Rai they were very clear in explaining when I should report. They stapled the when to report paper to the back of my passport, and explained that no more paperwork needed , just report within 15 days before the due date until 7 days after. They speak english extremely well and the instructions we're clear. It was my first 90 day report.
