Vehicle registration plates of Thailand

Thailand vehicle license plates ( _th. แผ่นป้ายทะเบียนรถ or หมายเลขทะเบียนรถ or simply ทะเบียนรถ) are the license plates attached to most motorized road vehicles in Thailand, which are required by law. Thai license plates display the name of the province where it was registered.

Types

Common types

The current Thai vehicle license plate format, used since April 1, 1997 (2540 B.E.) [ [http://www.ubonguide.com/web/viewtopic.php?t=3629&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=120 ดูกระทู้ - หมวดทะเบียนรถ 2 - กระดานข่าวชาวอุบล] th icon ] , have two consonants of the Thai alphabet, 1 to 4 numbers (any from 1 to 9999) and a small display of the Thai name of the province where it was registered at the bottom. (Ex. กค 8 ตาก; กค 88 ตาก; กค 888 ตาก; กค 8888 ตาก).

Some two Thai consonant combinations are not used because they are bad words when spelled. For example, "จน" means poor, "ตด" means flatulence, and "ศพ" means corpse.

This format is used by 8 different types of cars or automobiles which show a difference in plate types.

* Most of 4-doors pickups are include in this type.
** Usually a van with more than seven seats
*** 2-doors pickups with extended cab are include in this type.
