Answer summary
The friend can enter Thailand with both the new and old passports. If the visa is already approved, it will remain valid until the expiry of the old passport used for the application. Upon arrival, he should present both passports and visit immigration to request a transfer of the visa stamp to the new passport, ideally with a letter explaining the reason for the new passport.

You should get a letter from the office that issued your new passport giving the reason why a new passport was issued. Give this letter to Thai immigration and you will have no problems getting new stamps in new passport

If his visa is approved it will only last until expiry of the passport he used when applying. Should of renewed it first.

. Yeah unfortunately too late. Same applies in most countries. I got 11 months extension of my visa here instead of 12 months because of my passport expiry. Most countries give new passport number when renewing now for security reasons. Visa is linked to passport number and valid for the length of passport life .Colin *********
@Steven **************
now you asked questions as I thought it was transferable so as the immigration office
