TLDR : Answer Summary
The situation involves a parent in Thailand whose son's UK passport has expired and is still in the UK. They are seeking guidance on passport renewal from Thailand. Comments suggest several approaches, including contacting the embassy for specific instructions since it may be difficult to renew without the expired passport. Options discussed include using VFS services in Bangkok, asking friends or family in the UK to assist with the renewal, or potentially getting the expired passport sent to Thailand for facilitation. There is also advice to check the UK government website for proper procedures.
Presumably your son is using a different passport to stay in Thailand? I don't think a UK passport can be renewed in Thailand without the expired passport. Your son can renew it in the UK when he goes back there.

I renewed my passport without having the original. You will have to check with your local embassy to see if this is possible. They can post them from the UK to your local embassy for collection. I had a scan of the original passport, so I was able to provide the passport number etc.
Is there family/friends who can renew it in the UK for him? I believe it can be done online. Otherwise you might need to get proper advice from one of the specialist agents here.
