snoop1130 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The Thai government has launched an online vehicle registration service, providing a more convenient and time-saving option for the public. This move aligns with the government’s digital transformation policy, which aims to facilitate access to public services. As a result, citizens can now book a single number plate for each vehicle. Ratchada Thanadirek, Deputy Government Spokesperson, highlighted that this initiative is part of the government’s broader endeavour to promote digital transformation in public sector organisations. The policy, led by former Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, focuses on digitalisation to streamline processes and enhance service delivery. Several public sector organisations have already embraced this change, implementing online services to improve citizen satisfaction. The Department of Land Transport is one such entity that has shifted its services online in line with the government’s digital policy. It has developed an online system to reserve vehicle registration numbers on the website https://reserve.dlt.go.th/reserve/. The system requires identity verification through the ThaID application before booking a vehicle registration number, ensuring compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act, BE 2562 (2019), and preventing impersonation.

Why should they... you are a small cog in the wheel and they want 10 copies on paper of everything that involves you... but not to worry... two things will happen... the Thai general public won't use the system because it is too innovative to understand... the system will eventually fail because the paper guild will sabotage it. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Why do you need a red plate for several months on a new car then have it replaced by another one when you are finished lording over your neighbours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruit Trader Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 33 minutes ago, brianthainess said: That is not a load applied, just a set speed of the rollers, to turn the wheels. The vehicle braking system applies load on the rotating roller motors which is measured and displayed to the operator. I believe in some countries heavy goods vehicles include load or down force applied during these tests. Not sure why this is done, possibly to test suspension or vehicle load sensors during tests.

All the testing stations are linked into the system and once your vehicle has been tested the information is already in the system and you can pay the road tax online without submitting any documents. I've done it for the last two years. I successfully registered for the system using my social insurance number. It takes about two minutes online. If you haven't paid the compulsory insurance, you can also do that as part of the process (if you've paid it already the system 'knows'). So the joke's on you here really. We know that there are some duds but there are also a few of the Thai online processes that are done really well and make life much easier.

Please don't try to explain buying compulsory insurance separately, IMO then you can get a tax sticker with no compulsory insurance. we've been down this argument before.
