Hotel stay with Non Imm B visa's not transferred from Old to New Passport

[ReloTH]

Relating to hotel stay - tight timeframes to get to Immigration before a hotel stay. 

If one hasn't had transferred the visa's over & therefore presents at check in an old (& cut) passport & a new one with no stamps will this be a problem?

 

(driving so no air travel involved)

Explaining this to the hotel might be frustrating, but there is no legal reason why you need stamps to be in the new passport in order to check into a hotel. Just show them both passports, and be patient in explaining it to them.

OP, In the past I have traveled for months with both passports (expired and new) throughout Thailand and overseas with zero issues.

Do you have a Thai driving license? Just use this when checking in.

Thank you! Will go for it then (without the Immigration stop). Appreciate the responses.

Existing real genuine McCoy non-immigrant or tourist visas cannot be transferred from old to new passports. You have to carry both passports around with you until said visas have been fully used by their expiry dates in order to obtain appropriate permissions to stay in Thailand.
