TLDR : Answer Summary
To confirm your address for a UK passport application while in Thailand, you can use several documents. Acceptable options include the TM30 form, yellow book, or blue book, which may need to be translated. Other helpful documents are a Thai bank statement printed in English, a letter from your employer confirming your address, or a Thai driving license. Additionally, if you are registered as an overseas voter for UK elections, the confirmation letter showing your Thai address is also valid.

If you still register as an overseas voter for UK elections then the confirmation letter, which shows your Thai address is acceptable.

If you have a Thai bank account, they can print out a statement with the address in English. If you're working, they will accept a letter from your employer confirming your address. Otherwise a Thai driving licence or a 90-day report receipt showing your address.

If you mean Thai address then your yellow book/blue book/TM30. You have to have one of them
