Not sure if PO Boxes are available at the Thai Post Office, but I recall seeing a private mail delivery box in Pattaya, so that might be an option.

Yes. From AI..... 

 

"Yes, for U.S. passport renewal via the DS-82 form for U.S. citizens residing in Thailand, a post office box address is acceptable for the mailing address" 

 

Also it's possible to have a PO Box. 

Vaguely recall 500b/year. 

Out of interest how do you plan to travel without current pp. 

The existing pp is part of the application

I have two citizenships/passports. I plan to enter/exit Thailand as a Russian citizen, and renew my US passport during my stay.

 

 

Can I get a PO box in Pattaya remotely (online)? I'll arrive to Phuket in 3 weeks, then depart from Bangkok 60 days later. Ideally, I'd like to mail my application from Phuket, then pick up the new passport in Pattaya in 6 weeks or so.

Guessing that would be an option. 

In your shoes I would be using an agent in Pattaya to do the process. 

Just a thought.
