The plate on every intercity bus and licensed truck: THAILAND and a numeric province code above a type code and a serial that must print its leading zeros — the reverse of the usual convention.

The first two digits are a statutory vehicle-type code: 10–19 fixed-route buses, 20–29 small-vehicle transport, 30–39 non-scheduled (charter) buses, 60–69 and 70–79 hired trucks — the 70s exist because the 60s nearly ran out, and the instrument says so itself.

| Code | Stands for | English |
|---|---|---|
| `10-19` | รถโดยสารประจำทาง | scheduled (fixed-route) passenger transport |
| `20-29` | รถขนาดเล็ก | small-vehicle transport |
| `30-39` | รถโดยสารไม่ประจำทาง | non-scheduled passenger transport |
| `60-69` | รถบรรทุกไม่ประจำทาง | non-scheduled goods transport |
| `70-79` | รถบรรทุกไม่ประจำทาง | non-scheduled goods transport — the band added in 2011 when 60–69 neared exhaustion |
