I just caught this, and wondered if anyone else had gone through it that could offer some insight? When I did my first 90-day reporting I only had the first part of my current address, namely the apartment building and the road and postal code. I was told I needed to supply the Tambol and Amphur, and I did not know those, so I rang up my apartment supervisor while at immigration and tried to ask him. I thought I got the answer and put down what he told me in Tambol and Amphur. No problem submitting the report. But now, I was looking up my place on google maps while trying to find out how to get somewhere, and I realized the Tambol and Amphur are wrong. I've reported this address at least 2 times now and there's been no problem, but I wonder if I should just stay quiet about it now that my third reporting is coming up, or if I should bring it up to try to get it changed to the right address. Would that just be asking for trouble?

Should be no trouble using the correct address and explaining the mistake. Most people in Bangkok have been through that process in the last year or two as many house numbers have been changed. But be sure your reading is correct and double check with a letter address to someone in apartment building as even the side of the street can make a difference, and take some proof with you.

Hrm, I see. Well, proof might be a problem. I heard I might have to provide it, but was never asked for it, and to be honest. I don't know what I could show. I live with my boyfriend and the lease is in his name, and I have no bills to my name that come to this address, so I am a bit screwed in that department. I suppose I lucked out the first time, but any ideas about this?

Take a letter to boyfriend and to be sure a note/copy of his ID card saying you live there. Should not be much of a problem to do this way. If he is paranoid you could ask your Embassy for a letter of residence (likely just you signing under oath and them notarizing it). Just make sure you have it right.

Actually he (or landlord if apartment) needs to report your presence if living there; so make sure he does that first.
