TLDR : Answer Summary

The time it takes to receive a new UK passport after applying from Thailand can vary significantly. Official guidelines suggest allowing up to 11-13 weeks for processing, though many users report receiving their passports much sooner, usually within 2-9 weeks. Factors influencing the processing time include whether the application is made online or in-person, current workloads at the passport office, and any potential delays during holiday periods.

They say to allow for 6 weeks, but in reality it’s normally around 2 weeks. You apply through VFS, Trendy building, Soi 13 Sukhumvit.
