Does my girlfriend living in Phuket need to go to Bangkok to sort her passport and visa?

A user inquired if their girlfriend, living in Phuket, needs to go to Bangkok for her passport and visa arrangements. Responses indicate that if she is a Thai national, she can typically arrange her passport in her registered city, with many provinces including Phuket offering passport facilities. For non-Thais, visits to their respective embassies in Bangkok may be necessary.
