no extra pages allowed unlike the US passport. which sucks major balls.
my UK passport arrived quite quickly via DHL. I think I was at home though at the time.

Mine too.
Must admit I like the new passport design with every page watermarked with a different scene. Not too keen on the biometric chip in it - what is encoded on that and how would they get the details from a postal application of your retina, etc?
*edit* ah I see - currently, it's only the photograph encoded on it.

Sounds a good safe option if embassy will still do, My present passport issued by BKK embassy a couple of years ago no problem only one actual visit (350 KLM) sent to me by Thai Post registered mail (seems to work ok for inland mail) it is a big loss they no longer issue new passports.
As for courier services if you live well outside Bangkok as I do (350 KLM Nakhon Sawan) forget it. Courier services appear to stop once outside the Bangkok area. Had two items 'couriered' by Fedex from microsoft in Malaysia both reached BKK ok (confirmed on their tracing system) once there end of story. Although paid for as door to door in Malaysia I ended up paying another 2000THB for a Thai internal courier service to deliver from Bangkok. What really annoyed me was the fact that Fedex would not consider sending the items to me via registered Thai post which would have been considerably cheaper.
Piwani,
I have mulled this over but nearest office with post boxes is 50KLM away in Nakhon Sawan. However had "test air mail" letter sent from UK about a month ago recorded delivery dammed expensive, UK£5:50 on top of normal postage UK£2:40, but at least it did arrive at my house. Whether this would work for a package I do not know or was I just lucky.
No longer processed in Hong Kong, now need to courier it to Liverpool.
I also think there has been a hefty price rise to go along with the change......
I sent mine to Hong Kong two weeks ago a week before the change, I'll check the costs when they appear on my credit card against the current price.
