banglay Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hi All...I am in need of some advice... I have just returned home from a long ride trip and to my horror when unloading my bike noticed that the Number plate which had my tax disc attached had vanished (not stolen they were there when I loaded up the bike this morning) ???? . I would like information about the procedure of replacing them ,the bike is Chonburi registered .. what paperwork will I need ? how long will it take to get them replaced ? and a rough idea of the charge involved would be nice ???? Many thanks in advance ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysdad Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 A couple of years ago I discovered I’d lost the number plate from the front of my car. I was in a province far from home and on enquiry I was told I had to report the loss to the police in my home province to get a letter to take to the local motor authority whatever they call themselves. A simple form was filled in, a small charge that I can’t remember and told to come back in precisely 30 days to collect new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterphuket Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 About 14 years ago I bought a car in Phuket. Move to Hua-hin, and some day while parking in Lotus parking, they steal the license plate. I move to the office in Cha-am but they refuse to give me a new license plates and told me to go to Phuket! My Thai GF knew a car dealer. who took care of new license plate.
