They can enter Thailand on expired passports.

What about travelling thru other countries to get to Thailand? And out of the country they are currently in?

 

But surely they can apply online for renewal/replacement passport to be "posted" to them?

No problem leaving with expired passport or traveling in transit.

 

New passport must be applied in person.

Just go to the Thai embassy and get a new one.

Might be worth checking if the Thais have an embassy in Dublin. Could be easier to get to than London.

 Belfast and London are both in the same country:the UK!  No passport needed.

 

The answer to your basic question has not changed since you last asked it 

As you were told in that topic; as all Thai passport applications must be made in person so biometrics can be taken, they can either travel to the Thai embassy in London and renew their passports there, or they can enter Thailand on their expired Thai passports and renew them while there.

There is no Thai embassy or consulate in Dublin. Even if there were, Dublin is not in the UK, it's in the RoI. Legally they would need a valid visa to enter the RoI; unless they also have British citizenship and passports and so used them.

Contact the Royal Thai Embassy. They often send staff around the UK on Consular visits. My wife renewed hers in Edinburgh a year or so ago.
