I don't think for 1 minute that Joe is advocating nor condoning illegal behaviour here he is simply stating the facts of life here in Thailand and nothing more. It is how things work here

In my experience I bought a motorcycle from the Triumph dealer in BKK. It didn't come with a plate and I rode it all over Thailand without any problem. I simply had the receipt from the showroom. The police that did take an interest in the bike only wanted to have their picture taken whilst sat on it. I have also looked at the plate on the car and can find no embossed stamp or anything like one so ?

I would just move the plate from the back and get a " replacement " one for the back

Seems that things have changed

My one plate is on the front. This morning I got stopped at a police check point in Nathon and fined 2000Baht for not having a plate on the back.

So, off this afternoon to get new copy of plate as I only have one

day to comply.

Get the receipt as I did as a stop gap, but please remember that the original plates have an embossed emblem & a unique number stamped on it.
