## About this plate

PRIVATE-TRANSPORT PLATE under the Land Transport Act, identical in every dimension and metric to the yellow public plate, on a retroreflective WHITE ground. The instrument says so in one sentence, which is why the design block here is short and the sources line quotes it. The colour/type-code correspondence is exact and is the useful decode fact: a Thai commercial plate whose type code begins 4, 5, 8 or 9 is white and privately operated; 1, 2, 3, 6 or 7 is yellow and for hire.
