The Royal Thai Police have announced a new standard format for traffic tickets, which will come into force from 4 August 2025, as published in the Royal Gazette.

 

The revision is in accordance with the Administrative Fines Act B.E. 2565 (2022) and aims to modernise the process of issuing and managing traffic violations. The updated design replaces the previous formats issued in 2020 and 2021.

 

Under the “Royal Thai Police Announcement on the Specification of Traffic Ticket Forms (No. 3) B.E. 2568 (2025)”, traffic tickets will now be categorised into three distinct formats:

 

1. Standard On-Vehicle Ticket:

 

This version is issued directly to the driver or left on the vehicle. It consists of four colour-coded sheets with designated functions:

 

• White: for the driver or to be displayed on the vehicle

• Yellow: for the administrative fine agency to input into the national police database

• Pink: for the state official authorised to process the fine

• Blue: for the issuing officer’s records

 

2. Postal Ticket:

 

Used for violations detected remotely or in the absence of the driver. This format has two sheets:

 

• One for mailing to the driver, vehicle owner, or current possessor

• One retained as a duplicate by the issuing officer

 

3. Electronic Ticket:

 

Designed for digital issuance, this form may also be attached to a vehicle or handed directly to a driver, in accordance with digital processing systems.

 

The move reflects a broader shift towards transparency and efficiency in traffic law enforcement. By standardising forms across physical and digital platforms, authorities aim to improve coordination among law enforcement, administrative agencies, and national databases.

 

All previous versions of the traffic ticket format, including the 2020 and 2021 versions, will be officially repealed as of 4 August.

 

Motorists are advised to familiarise themselves with the new forms and remain attentive to notices either issued at the scene or received by post.

they all look the same in the trash can !

Kind of them to add English as I doubt many Thais will pay them which leaves the rest of us to pay. 

 

Of course, all this is moot if they can't enforce the laws.

Is there any definitive view yet on whether non-payment of these are being tied to vehicle tax renewals? 

Or does it depend on individual areas?
