Jesus wept.

I'm sure that means something to you.

Go back and read what you wrote.

You clearly stated that you can apply for a new passport when reporting the old one lost/stolen. THAT IS NOT TRUE. A new passport can only be applied for in Hong Kong.

I concede that maybe you do have to make a report to the embassy, nobody is perfect. (Although I still suspect the form can be posted). But would people please stop suggesting that the British embassy in BKK will issue a new passport, they won't

stop suggesting that the British embassy in BKK will issue a new passport

I have read all 30 posts again and contact Embassy and find out what you have to do is as close as it seems to get. And that is good advise.

But would people please stop suggesting that the British embassy in BKK will issue a new passport, they won't

No one did.

And that only recently became your complaint (after your original protestations were shown to be perhaps misplaced), no?

You made Jesus cry!

I had same problem but lost mine in Dubai.

British embassy gave me an emergency travel document to get me to England.

I had to apply for new passport in Engand
