You can not renew your British Passport online from Thailand.
You have to use VFS.
It's a free service (you only pay for your passport)

You need to show the money in your account ASAP

David

Looking back I wished I'd opted for just the "O" visa as the health insurance is very restricted to only certain companies with Thai approval.

Please note to all none UK citizens.
The British embassy here in Bangkok does not issue passports.
They can only assist you with the process of getting emergency travel documents.
The emergency travel documents are done online and you print them off (there's a cost involved).
Inform your airline especially if your transiting through another country.
Keep a copy of your police report and emergency travel documents.
