According to this, the UK Passport system has been an utter shambles since June this year.

 

Now they are striking!

I applied for a replacement UK Passport at VSF Global BKK for my son end of last June. Previously 9 Weeks was the maximum expected wait.

Today after pushing multiple times via email the HMPO Bangkok Office clowns to update me they replied "This process takes 6-12 weeks approximately"

 

They also provided this link to extend a childs current passport, main restriction is 'you can only undertake this if you have not applied for a new one!'

If they had sent me this link it would have been of greater use!

 

<deleted> Sake!

Maybe you should consult the visa section, a very long thread on what you are talking about

There is already a topic running regarding UK passports:

 

Changes To British Passport Services In Thailand

 

Please post your updates in that topic.
