Format, years and the law

Format
9999, for example 1058 (9 any digit)

Green-on-yellow says tuk-tuk; the series letters are reported to be just three pairs, ศข, สก and สข: "pavilion-egg", "tiger-chicken", "tiger-egg" in the recited letter names. Scarcity on the plate to match the vehicle.

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

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