Personalised number plates now available in Thailand

The Cabinet approved new licence plates for passenger vehicles that can carry up to seven people.

The plates can use alphabets and numbers totalling seven digits.

Deputy government spokesperson Trisulee Trisaranakul told reporters the amendment would help licence plates to become more diverse and more appropriate.

She said the new plates would have two lines. The first line will include letters and feature vowels or tone marks.

The second line would sport the name of the province, except for vehicles registered in Yala’s Betong district, which will use the word Betong instead.

“There can be a name combined with numbers on the new licence plate, while the alphabets, tone marks and numbers must not exceed seven digits,” Trisulee added. – The Nation
