When we had a plate problem we went to the LTO, they gave us an official form to show the police, which tells me they supply this form to folk with a plate ploblem. As it was official I would have thought that the land of forms would have it at all LTO's..???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was official I would have thought that the land of forms would have it at all LTO's..???? as I said, not in my province, Trang, dealer (Mazda) told me plates would be back with 60 days (in May) waited around 75 days and went for trip, traffic police looking for somebody or something stopped me asking for the registration, showed them dealer papers they gave me notice to provide proper registration within 10 working days, went to DLT/LTO showed them the police request and they told me to go back to the dealer because they didn't started the plates/registration process, went to dealer and was told he would be done by end of the week, nothing had to pay 2,000 baht, asked money back from dealer and to no avail... thus my surprise that you had better outcome... but one should know, this is Thailand and not one standard applies to same potential issue FYI did went back to the dealer, explained the problem to the general manager and last week was surprised to receive credit to my bank acct in the amount of 2,000 baht it (eventually) all ends well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickBradford Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The word is "flouting", not "flaunting". Back to grammar school, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
