I friend lost his plate in Hua Hin but because the car had been registered in Chang Mai he had to go back to Chang Mai to get the replacement. I mention this just in case it is relevant.
Courage is grace under pressure and when circumstances change you change your mind.
Never had cause to have to do it, but a quick search brings up the fact that you should report it to the police first. Evidently there is a form(amazing) they fill in and you have to keep a copy, so that when you get stopped for no plate you can show the receipt.
Then you have to go to your local DLT office and order a new one, which could take awhile to receive. BUT, you will need the blue registration book and proof of ownership, ID etc.
May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil know`s you`re dead!
Make a police report, so if the lost number plate is used on another car in a criminal act, you are covered (sort of). Then get a replacement plate from the DLT - the official plates will have a small circular stamp towards the bottom corner whereas a 'printed' plate won't. Another reason for the BIB to pull you over.. As Nereus says, it could take a while, but better safe than sorry.
lost mine a couple of years back. When you go to the police station to report it they had hundreds of plates that had been handed in. Maybe you will be lucky.
I found my number plate. It seems that there is a page on Facebook that people use to say that they have found number plates. Everything is of course in Thai so you will need a Thai person to look into this.

No, I've changed my mind. All off topic posts starting with the video have been deleted. If you want to feature and discuss the new Rolls Royce please start a thread in Motoring.

Quite right Pete. Although I was guilty of it by rising to the bait. Now who veered the subject 'off topic'? I wonder ........ mmmm. Par for the course.
Regarding replacement number plates, although I've never had to do it, a friend of mine did. He said that something which should be so simple turned out to be a long drawn out affair and it was several weeks before receiving a new plate. It's much quicker to register a car from new than replacing a plate on a car already registered!
Thanks for the replies
I went to the police and reported it lost so have the form in the car if stoped etc
The car is part financed therefore I don't have the original blue book
Does a copy of the blue book suffice for the DLT
The car is bkk registered soi I'm right in assuming I need to go to a bkk office ?
Unfortunately, I believe you do have to go to BKK. To use another office requires you to re-register the car and you would have a different number plate.
Come to think of it, I bought a car BKK registered and went to Prachuab to complete the paperwork. That included re-registering it and getting a new number plate. It only took 2 or 3 days so might actually be quicker than applying for a replacement.
so can anybody please explain to me how to go about getting a new one printed 
Please.....
