^!Don't act so smart. They are not official. Impossible to get red plates from Ducati in Bangkok. Just bought bike number 3 from them.

You have to ask for them and insist they fit them.

You did not answer my question? And I did not want any red plates either, that system is way ready to be scrapped...

I lived in Samut Prakern, Bangkok, when I first moved here 10 years ago, now Loei red plates on all my bikes, just ask.

It will be years before these neandathals change

Well Samut Prakan is not in Bangkok, that`s why you could get the red plates. Inside Bangkok, no red plates....

Yes and so? That does not necessarily mean that those plates are issued in the  Special administrative area of Krung Thep Mahankon?

who cares??? they are available if you know how to get them, when the new plates come they will from where you live not where you bought it,

[Namplik]

No, they are not available at dealers in the "province" of Bangkok.

Yes i did in a districk of Bangkok, Red plates are issued by the selling dealer it doesn't matter where you live for those. you clearly are clueless with no idea, just because some crappy ducati dealer didn't have any for you and you did not insist. They are available all over the country just accet you are miss informed and move on.

Heard many examples of not issuing red plates in Bangkok. I dont have any Ducati btw.....

[macknife]

I read enough Thai to be able to read the province on a number plate. In all the many years I have lived in Bangkok I have never seen a 'red plate' on a bike that was issued in Bangkok, and believe me, I have looked. The reason for this is that they don't exist.

Any new bike that I, or any of friends, have bought in Bangkok, has never been issued with red plates even when pushed by concerned friends. They simply don't exist or matter.

Samut Prakan is not in Bangkok or even a suburb. It is, in fact, a province of Thailand, known as the province of Samut Prakan.

Sorry, in Bangkok and with red plates that translate to Bangkok. Same as the writing that's on my car plates. As someone else said, just because a Ducati dealer didn't have them or was too lazy to offer you them.....

I have had a bike in Bangkok on red plates, and I really don't care what you think or say you are wrong, you clearly cannot read english the above poster was refering to his red plate on a bike.

My bad, i misread what he said. Nevertheless, if somewhere is now issuing red plates for bikes then it's news to me.

You lived in Samut Prakan, which is not in Bangkok. Time for you to move on from this topic.

Why ? I bought the bike in central Bangkok, you clearly have no idea how it works here, I suggest you move on.

Exactly. Can anyone show a picture of 1 of these infamous plates?

[MINIMIGLIA]

when I next see 1 I will post it, I really do not care what you think.

[Namplik]

Neither do we.....

I've bought 3 brand new bikes in Bangkok, never had a red plate.

 

Just bought a 2017 MT09 and that has no plate as well, the dealer reckons it will take 5-6 weeks. Never had an issue, even when stopped out of Bangkok, at night etc.

 

Bikes I bought in Phuket had a red plate.

[bkksteve123]

I've had 2 new bikes (in Bangkok). Never was I given red plates or any temporary plates, also don't recall ever seeing a bike with red plates.

 

Not been an issue though.

Did you ask for them as part of the deal?? even when you buy a car you have to ask for them, too easy, don't ask don't get, simple really.

I asked on the first one I bought (a Kawasaki purchased from Kawi HQ on Rama 9) as I had moved to Bangkok from Phuket where they issue them for bikes so I was expecting one. They told me Bangkok don't issue red plates for bikes as many posters have confirmed.

 

Police stopped me a few times and I told them I was waiting for the plate and they always asked to see the purchase documents and never mentioned a red plate. Never bothered asking for the other 2 bikes as you clearly don't need it. Been here 9 years now and I've seen hundreds of new bikes in Bangkok with no plates. But feel free to demand one.

I have bought three bikes over the last three years in Samutprkarn
A fino in 2013 as a run around for the gf to go to the market etc my R3 in 2015 and a z300 in 2017 for the gf for trips as she couldn't keep up with me on the fino lol and we never were issued red plates nor did we ask for them
We were stopped at a check point returning from koh Chang after songkran and no mention was made of there not being
Any plates on the Z300 that the gf was riding the police were more concerned that she didn't have a licence lol
I am not saying they don't exist but I have seen plenty of new bikes both big and small that are obviously new with out any plates in many different places around the country so maybe they are available but I have yet to see a motorbike with theses plate
If I do I wil let you all know
