Find a lost number plate in Thailand
Lost a license plate after flooding?
Search LostPlate for found plates gathered from public photos, posts and several source websites. The collection focuses on information from 25 September 2026 onward in Bangkok and nearby areas. Compare the photo, then ask the keeper where to collect it.
How can I search with only part of the registration?
Enter the full registration or its final digits. Spaces do not matter. Narrow the results with the province printed on the plate; this is not the district or road where it was lost. Plates with an unreadable province remain included.
If nothing matches, try the digits alone and select all provinces. A question mark in a result represents a character that could not be read confidently.
How do I know whether a matching plate is mine?
Compare the letters, digits, province, colours and marks on the actual plate. Matching final digits alone are not enough: different letter combinations or provinces can share those digits.
Some records have a close-up crop. Others still carry a source website’s reading while photo review is pending. Incomplete readings and uncertain colours are labelled. Open the original photo or post for more evidence.
Where can I collect my plate?
Open the plate details to see locations and history reported by each source, such as a police station, shop or collection point. Follow the original post to ask the keeper whether the plate is still there and how to collect it. Map links help locate places named by the source.
A database-added date or photo-posting date is not necessarily the day the plate was found. A photo may have been reposted, and a plate may have moved or been returned. Confirm the current collection point before travelling.
What if my plate does not appear?
Try the final digits, all provinces and partly readable results. If you know your route, also check public posts and local collection points along it.
No result does not prove nobody found your plate. A photo may not have been posted or included yet. Check back for new entries; the Sources page shows which websites have contributed records.
Can I save a search to check new candidates?
Choose “Save search”, then return to “Saved” to compare new candidates. Your registration, province and matches are private and kept for 90 days; “Still looking” renews them. Pause or delete at any time. No email or push alerts are sent.
Protect your private link: anyone with it can manage the search. On another device, choose “Save on this device” to retain the link. “Not mine” hides that candidate; “Collected” closes your private search. Public collection updates require a separate reviewed report.
I found a plate. Where do I report it?
Choose “Report a plate” and add photos or a public post or video link, plus the collection point if known. You can select an unknown location. You do not need to type every registration in a group photo.
Car and motorcycle plates are welcome, including photos showing several plates. Do not attach identity cards, vehicle documents, phone numbers or private addresses. Reports wait for review before publication. Keep the tracking link to check progress; review has no guaranteed turnaround.
How do I report a collected plate or correct an entry?
Open the plate details and report that you collected it, that it is no longer there, or that information needs correcting. You can include a current photo and a new collection point.
Corrections and collection reports do not require a photo. They are reviewed before public information changes, helping others avoid travelling on outdated information.
