As far as I know they do not do the actual renewal during the visit they only accept the applications. They do not have any printing or other equipment with them.

Dear Pattaya Area American Citizens,

The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to inform you of a consular outreach visit to Pattaya on March 24, 2010. Please come if you can!

Consular staff will be available to provide services at the following location (please note that the time is different than at previous outreaches):

Wednesday, March 24, 2010, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Dusit Thani Pattaya, at 240/2 Pattaya Beach Road, Pattaya City, Chonburi, 20150, Thailand. Telephone: 03-842-5611.

The following consular services will be available during our outreach visits:

* Passport renewal applications ($75.00 or Baht 2550 for adult passports, and $85 or Baht 2890 for a child’s passport)

* Notarial Services and Certified Copies ($30.00 or Baht 1020). This includes income affidavits for retirees in Thailand.

* Social security, VA, or other federal benefits question will be limited, but we will try to provide forms and answers

(Please bring exact change!)

NOTE: We cannot process extra visa pages during our outreach trips. We can accept applications, but the passports will have to be brought back to the Embassy for final processing the next day. The passports will then have to be picked up in person (or by a friend upon presentation of a letter of authorization signed by the applicant) at the Embassy. We regret any inconvenience caused by this.

Additionally, Consular Reports of Birth cannot be processed during consular outreach trips.

If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or call the American Citizen Services Unit at 02-205-4049.

We look forward to seeing you in Pattaya on Wednesday, March 24, 2010.

Sincerely,

American Citizen Services

As per the ACS message they will accept the renewal application paperwork and money and take all back to BKK and send for processing and in about 2 weeks they will notify you you're new passport is in BKK and you can come pick it up or have someone authorized to pick it up for you

I renewed using this method 2 years ago and worked like a charm.

Thanks for the replies

Longball had the answer. You do need to take the photos at a shop & submit with the application , same as the U.S. They do not have the camera to take the photos.
