| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Format | `LL-999` (L is any letter, 9 any digit) |
| Years | ~2011 → today (documented from 2011; the format is likely older) |
| Class | temporary |
| Issued for | car, truck, van, bus |
| Colours | background #FFFFFF; characters #000000 |
| Checking a registration | The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it. |
| Series id | `th-international-english` (https://vehiclesdb.com/license-plates/thailand/international-english) |

The Latin letters are the same registration in travel clothes: a DLT transliteration of the vehicle's Thai series letters, above the word THAILAND. Fit it for Laos or Yunnan; keep it on at home and the plate itself becomes a 2,000-baht offence.

## About this plate

The transliteration table that maps Thai consonants to Latin codes is the key missing artefact for a parse API and is the top follow-up for this jurisdiction.

## About the format

The DLT press release gives exactly two specimens and no grammar: "HA - 753 THAILAND" and "3K-201 THAILAND".
