VHS BKK emailed me to say my papers had been sent to the UK, that was 6 days after the agent received them, from then on it took 15 weeks, new PP dated 29 September, so I don't know how you did it in 4 weeks.
Weeell, there is no easy way as you must go to Bangkok to sort it via an appointment.
I used Key Visa Services to renew mine, all done by post, very easy..
Be warned that UK PP renewal is taking around 15 weeks.....
