In the past few years there has been a "Passport Clinic" at Central Festival. Last year was in July. It was extremely organised with many stations set up for completing the application and having the photo taken. It took less then 2 weeks by mail to receive the passport. And it took less then 2 hours when for the whole application process. Only an ID card was necessary.

I have found the old article. I do not know when the service will be this year.

From June 2007 Gazette:

Thai E-passport clinic to come to Phuket

PHUKET: The Thai Consul Department will hold a mobile service center at Central Festival Phuket for Thai nationals to apply for “e-passports” from July 27 to August 4.

The center will be open from 11 am to 7 pm.

Valid for five years and at a cost of 1,035 baht, the passports must be applied for with an identification card, government officer card or state census card.

Minor applicants (aged under 20 years old) must be accompanied by a parent and must present an identification card or birth certificate, census registration and their parents’ identification cards.

If the minor’s parents have divorced, the parent applying with the minor must provide documents proving the parent’s right as guardian of the minor.

Applicants will also be required to provide documentation of any changes of name.

E-passports, which were introduced in Thailand in August 2005 to replace standard passports, are combined paper and electronic identity documents that use a computer chip to store information about the passport holder.

I did my daughter's pasport in Surat Thani last Sept. There is a very efficient office there- only problem was the electricity was off for the day! They did manage to process about 50 passports from 16:30- 17:30 hrs. fastest government action I have ever seen in ANY country.
