Use a tricolor with an integral anchor light on the mast head and a

I don't know what the rules are in Bangkok, but in the States and most
European countries the mast light (aka "steaming light") must be mounted
_above_ the other lights (red/green/stern) when under power (or for that
matter when the engine is running even when not in gear)..

This means obviously that using a masthead tricolor with a steaming light
mounted somewhere lower on the mast is in violation.

"The boat must also display a white masthead light visible for 5
miles" taken from your link however the word masthead should read
Steaming... as in the accompanying diagram.
