Greetings from Bangkok, Wat Phra Keo
Westerners find it both amusing and sometimes inconvenient that the Thai language cannot be transliterated exactly into “western” alphabets. This unused card is a perfect example. Yes, it’s the Temple of the Emerald Buddha — no problem there. But on the front it’s spelled as “Wat Phra Keo” and on the reverse it’s “Wat Phra Keaw”. Just a little oddity on a classic Bangkok postcard. Grade: 1
