Format, years and the law

Same letter machinery as the sedans, in the van-series blocks, Bangkok's are reported under น, ฬ, อ and ฮ: mouse, kite, basin, owl in the recited names. Blue characters, not the letters, legally mark the more-than-seven-seat class.

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Documented since 2011; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
