Mid-Day View of the Phataya Sea-Beach

Still from the series of (otherwise) unused, aging cards, probably 1970s or earlier, onto which a Buddhist association has overprinted a seasonal greeting in Chinese, in large red characters, on the reverse. In this series, the greeting is always the same. To see it, go to our scan for card #20326413. But this one card is unusual in having an English-only caption that almost completely covers the reverse. If one was determined, one could send this as a postcard — but you would need to work at that. This card shows more aging than others in the series, and spells “Pattaya” more than one way. Grade: 3
