July 5, 20214 yr So I recently found the actual government document laying out the proper way to translate Thai plates to Latin and Foreign plates to Thai, At the end of it it also has full list of the small numbers assigned to plates and I'm wondering if any of you could translate it for me as I can't read Thai, I'm curious if these numbers are actually based on Royal Thai Police regions as I know they have 9 regions.

July 5, 20214 yr Don't know what you are talking about but the first one is Bangkok with a number of 01.
July 5, 20214 yr Author Well I know there's 78 provinces that appear on Thai Plates but yet the small numbers on international plates go all the way to 96, and I was wondering if perhaps the first number represents the Royal Thai Police region the province is located in as there's only 9 of those, but it's confusing as on here there's 12 numbers that begin with 4 but there's only 11 provinces in Region 4.
July 5, 20214 yr This is for only Latin lettered plates for going to Indo-China (Lao-Vietnam-Cambodia) the numbers for province are already in use for big trucks plate appearing as Thailand 01 for Bangkok on the bottom row For malaysia and Singapore, they use a different system, often abbreviating the province into three letter for example ก456 กรุงเทพ becomes A456BKK

There is a DLT office that can give their own plate despite not being a province which is Betong, due to the historical remoteness of the area, the number conversion is 951 other three digit codes province are Nongbualumpoo 401 and and Bungkarn,402 which only became provinces in 1993 There's already ISO 3166 which prescribe the use of letter codes which for Thailand would be THfollowed by numbers for each provinces which uses different numbers altogether
July 5, 20214 yr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:TH Quote 1, 2, 6, 7: Central Thailand 3, 4: Northeastern Thailand 5: Northern Thailand 8, 9: Southern Thailand S: Pattaya The Wikipedia article doesn't 100% match the document that you posted, I guess the document is just a bit older, and maybe the DLT is still using an older version of this standard for the license plates.
