If he arrived on an O-A one year entry he should report 90 days from the date he arrived for the TM.47 address report.

Don't forget it doesnt have to be in person, he can do it by post too, to his area immigration office.

Mailing your passport is possible at some immigration offices but i would be a little bit careful with this.

He would not be the person who lost his passport because the Thai mail lost his mail or what ever.

Personally i would never send my passport by mail. ( maybe via registered EMS but for sure not visa normal mail )

He does not have to report in person so he can give his passport some somebody else who is going to the immigration office.

And you can do this reporting 14 days before and 7 days after the reporting date.

You do not send your passport when doing a 90 day report by mail, only photocopies of the relevant pages in the passport.
