Thailands most expensive number plate!

The Land Transport Office has finally sold at auction the license number (sor sor ),ซซ 9999 Bangkok. for 6.75 million baht . It had been auctioned in previous years but the winner bidder failed to come up with the money. This year it was paid in cash . An interesting note however is that the previous highest bidder of 8,111,111 in 2006 now has to make up the difference between his bid and the amount it currently fetched. A small matter of 3.5 million . ouch .

For those farang who have a few spare readies ,the next number plate auction here in Udon is the weekend 26/27th November,probably the same place as before,being the Charoen Hotel.
For info, number plate Udon 9999 last year was sold for just over 1 million baht.

I will never pay more than 5000 Bhat for such number, what on earth this number will do for you ?

Seems you miss the point. Having one of these exclusive numbers is not about what it does for you, but what it does to the neighbors .

That'll keep you busy today praying for "Justice Devine" . However it does seem to OT to be a little drastic and I doubt whoever you are praying to would see it that way.
As for having an expensive numberplate, it is a must buy for someone who is loaded. There is nothing else to it except a decent vehicle to put it on.
OT would get one.
