You travel to Bay Area but you won't have a trip to Bangkok? I am sure most of us travel to Bangkok every couple of months, for all sorts of reasons and only need a wee bit of planning to get it done.
On the other hand I agree that BOI should do something about it, or at least get their "Certified Agents" to offer this service, maybe for 2000 or 3000 Baht. Immigration should also accept the report without seeing t actual passport.
