I am arranging for a new passport that will arrive to my address in the UK, when I leave Thailand it will be on my old passport and will then fly back in on my new passport. Has anyone done this recently and if so was there any issues? I will only be gone for a week collect my new passport, see family etc.
Answer summary
The user plans to leave Thailand on their old passport and return on a new one. It is advised to bring both passports and the DTV PDF (visa documentation), and to file the TDAC with the new passport number upon re-entry. It is also noted that once a new passport application is submitted, the old passport will be invalidated.

Bring both passports and the printed PDF off the DTV (which is your visa)

File the TDAC with the new passport number...

Hand both passports and the PDF print out to the officer when you stamp in..

As soon as your new passport application reaches the UK the old one will be invalid for travel and cancelled
