By all means do the 90-days reporting by mail. Easy, uncomplicated and no loss of time.

They send it back to your home address, which is why you must include a self addressed and stamped (10THB !) envelope.

Send in the whole set by registered mail, just in case.

I had to do it by Nov. 17, and sent it by registered mail to the Chaeng Wattana Office. It's back already.

Finally made it to Goverment Complex today to do the 90 day check-in.  I was 21 days late, explained to the officer that my house had alot of water and was told that they understood and were not going to charge me the late fine. All ended well.

thais reaping of they own people in their hr of need.soon they will try to do the same too the tourist in high season

"tourists in high season"???  Maybe you haven't been reading the papers, but tourist numbers are falling faster than a rock from a skyscraper.  I live in Chiang Mai and can go into town right now and count the number of tourists and not use all my fingers.  However, what IS interesting is that close to 3 of every 5 cars I see on the roads here in CM now have BKK license plates on them.

My cousin in law is the manger of one of the biggest hand made umbrella and parasol shops shops in CM.  They normally get about 2-3 tour buses of foreign tourists a week during high season.  She told my wife last night on the phone they have had ONE in the past 2 weeks.

Another friend works at a large tourist agency.  She said she the number of tours from Asian countries that have been cancelled is horrendous.  

Tourists?  Don't think you're gonna see to many of them this year.
When one group shuts dodwn the airports, another group puts the city on fire, the jetski-tuktuk scams at the beaches, the shoplifting scam at the airport, the tourist are now saying "We should have been coming to Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia or Cambodia along time ago. Why bother with Thailand"
