Myanmar plates
Hi, Nice pix of your Myanmar trip. I have been living & working here since 2010 and seen a lot of changes in number plates. I have managed to get lots of info and collected over 200 of them. If you need any info I'm happy to try to help you. I can tell you a little here, after the Brits left, and sometime in the mid 1050's the Brit plates changed to Burmese script, starting at the first letter of their alphabet,
Kargee 1, up to Kargee 999, then on to Kargwei 1 up to 999. At the time people just painted the number on, or had some done on a piece of metal. The sizes were a third or so larger than today. Not all letters were used, then in mid 1970's a change was made and they started at Sa Lone, the 6th letter of the alphabet. The first 5 letters were saved for low taxed vehs., mostly taxis, and were doubled, Kargee Kargee 1 & up & Kargwee Kargwee 1 & up. However it ended up that only the first 2 letters were used up, replaced today with AA, BB, etc. etc.
