TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has lost their passport, and their visa is set to expire soon. They are uncertain whether they need to have their visa stamped in an emergency passport (ETD) to exit Thailand. The community advises that an ETD can only be used to travel back to the UK and will not include a visa stamp. Users recommend reporting the passport loss to the police and obtaining the necessary documentation from the UK Embassy. It is crucial to act quickly to avoid overstaying in Thailand.

The ETD only allows travel back to UK. It will not be stamped with your Thai Visa.

Scott Williams You need to act without delay if you don't want to be pinged for overstay.
As stated report Passport Lost / Stolen to RTP.
Take this Police document to the UK Embassy and request an ETD.
This will permit you to travel back to the UK unhindered.
You are gonna have to get your skates on with booking a flight back to "blighty" before the end of 5th January 2023.
You can possibly start the online process of getting a replacement PP, once you have your RTP report to scan and send your new PP to an address in the UK to be picked up later.
Then once you have your new UK passport you can return to Thailand and start your "Visa" process all over again.

Y’all Brits make the US government appear reasonable. The world has gone crazy.
The first thing to do is report your passport lost/stolen to the police, and get a copy of the report. This is a kind of silly security step trying to prevent people from just selling their passport for money. It gets it flagged in the Thai police computer system immediately. Thailand only became centrally tied in to all their different computer departments in the last few years. If it was only voided by the US embassy, a small border crossing into Cambodia, or Laos, never used to be aware of those things, as they were only tied into the police system, which immigration falls under. Now it is different with the computer systems, but the old rules still apply.
