Need to renew my British passport soon. Is the passport centre still at the Trendy building in Bangkok?

Nah, they moved from there a while back. They're out at Rama 9 now. You need to take a walk up the side of Robinson's because they're tucked away at the back there. Check out their map for the exact location: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/tha/en/gbr/attend-centre/bangkok

Pretty decent. From start to finish, I think mine took less than 3 weeks.

As a word of warning, be careful about what you take to the centre. They have a whole list of items that you're prohibited from taking in with you, including bags, laptops and even umbrellas, if I remember right, yet they have no storage facilities available. It causes a lot of problems with applicants, who end up rushing around looking for a shop that will store their things before their appointed time slot.

@gareth Good point. Yeah, I remember they allowed me to take my mobile phone in, but yeah, they do have a long list of banned items.
