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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macknife Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.....

JonnyF Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkksteve123 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
