ORIGINAL POSTER
Just a quick update !

My UK Passport was full.

I applied for a New Passport in Bangkok and was told it would be about 4 weeks.

I collected my New Passport Today.

It took only 14 Days.

Great service and very pleasant and helpful staff.

You cannot travel internationally on the old one once you apply but it's still okay for domestic travel.

The UK consulate doesn't issue passports. You use the company called VFS Global in the Trendy Building on Sukhumvit Soi 13
