Has anybody renewed there passport with the US Embassy Bangkok, lately?

It's been about 5 years for me since the last time I got a new passport with the embassy.. Back then a person had to make an appointment, show up, then about 2 weeks after the appointment I received my passport.

From what I understand, things have changed some.

How long does it take these days?

Is it all done by mail?

My current visa stamp expires in about 30 days and I have only one empty page left.

UPDATE:

I put the paperwork in the mail on the 3rd and got the passport on the 18th. It's a bit of a pain because you have to go to 3 sites altogether. 1) Passport replacement page, 2) Order and pay for return postage to you, 3) Pay for the passport.

The rest of it's easy.
