I have a friend that would like to renew his non immigrant o visa that he obtained in the UK.

He does not want to fly back to the UK to get a new visa. I said I would ask here for him as he's not computer literate.

So, please can someone give advice for me to pass on.

He is not married and needs to know where to go and what paperwork is needed to get the same visa he had last time. He mentioned Penang as it's cheap to get to..

Any info appreciated. I searched parts of the forum but a lot of the information is either old or misleading or maybe I just haven't got the hang of TV yet !

Unless he is over age 50 there is not much chance he will obtain such a visa anywhere near Thailand.

he is over 50 but doesn't want to do his retirement visa for a year or two. Should I advice him to go back to the UK ?

If he has a bank account with 800k baht (at exchange rate) somewhere he would probably be able to obtain a multi entry non immigrant O visa in Singapore. Not sure what Penang would require or if they will issue now but that is also a possible place.
