Thailand Travel Essentials: Loss of Passport
If your passport is lost or stolen while you are overseas, report it immediately to the local police and to your nearest embassy or consulate. A consul can often issue a replacement passport, although the speed of this emergency service may vary widely. Contact information may be found in the Embassies & Consulates section.
Note that passports reported lost or stolen are invalidated and can no longer be used for travel.
