I would inquire at the embassy first. Normaly you have to apply in person, but can have the passport send to you. Never heard of any problems by sending it EMS, that is why the embassies offer it. Postal service in Thailand is pretty reliable, especialy by EMS.

UK Embassy can apply by post. As said use SMS.

I did it from Koh Samui, works fine. Took about 2 weeks all up.

No problem at all applying for a new passport by post as long as you have all the paperwork completed then send by ems,have done this procedure before and no problems..

A Brit friend of mine got one recently and he was able to do everything by mail. A US citizen cannot. The US Embassy will not mail a US passport.
