I am not splitting hairs, I am pointing out that the Embassy as a diplomatic mission is separate and has a separate function from the Consular affairs section which has a focus on dealing with individual persons and businesses. By all means try to get an appointment with the Ambassador to discuss your passport, see how far you get.

No but the "consular affairs" section is separate from the "Diplomatic mission" as defined by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

Correct, They simply do not have the staff to do it. However that is for UK passport holders. Australians just follow usual procedures.

Then you just need to take the papers Robert mentioned to CW along with the letter from Embassy. You need the Thai form "Transfer stamp to new passport" ( I got mine from Samut Prakan immigration website). and it should be good.

The Non-Immigrant O visa is most certainly not just for people over 50.
