Code: 20326001
Price: $9.00
Bangkok, Wat Poh
This unused card is fading, and at one time was in an album that left minor indentations but no real marks. Minor creasing in upper right corner. Reverse has mellowed but is clean, and this is a nice temple photo. Grade: 3

I heart Bangkok
Various scenes: Wat Phra Kaeo, Wat Arun, Wat Benchamabophit, and King Rama IX Royal Park. That’s your Thai-language lesson for today. Mailed in 1998, the card has two large and different stamps but illegible postmark, and some corner creasing. Grade: 3

Code: 20326005
Price: $7.00
Bangkok, Wat Ratchanatda
Two of these are available. One (Grade: 3, $5) has minor edge abrasion, mailed in 2001. It has three stamps on reverse but one has a bit of corner missing. Another (Grade: 5, $3) was mailed in 2000 and has five nice stamps but also a jumbo black bar code on bottom reverse and a postal tape on bottom front. By the way, the amulet market area on the temple grounds is unusually interesting.

Code: 20326038

North Thailand, elephants
Two of these cards are available. One was mailed in 1995 and one in 1996. They are special because in each case the cards have two large se-tenant elephant stamps.

Code: 20326041
Price: $14.00
Bangkok, Patpong
Who knows, there may have been a time not so long ago when Patpong accounted for the majority of overseas visits to Bangkok. But why is this card a bit more expensive? It’s because of the stamp on the back, a 1-1/4″ by 4-3/4″ massive view of one of the royal barges during the Golden Jubilee in 1996. Card was mailed in 1997 and the stamp has one legible postmark. Despite a little bit of abrasion on the reverse, this card is well worth the price. Grade: 2

Code: 20326043
Price: $17.00
Took-Took
Card from 1995 of a Thai icon, also spelled tuk-tuk. Not so many of them now–people began to realize how uncomfortable they are! But this card is special for the stamps: two normal, but two large se-tenant stamps of elephants crossing a river. One fully legible postmark. There’s also the retailer’s original price sticker on reverse, and additional postal ink. Grade: 3

Code: 20326044
Price: $11.00
Took-Took
Different view of the little vehicle that swarmed Bangkok streets and sois. The card was mailed in 1997 and has two large, attractive forestry stamps with partial postmarks. The retailer’s original price sticker is also there, along with postal barcode imprint. Grade: 3

Code: 20326045
Price: $7.50
Monkeys
The front of this card is as-new but the true value is the reverse, a mailed card (1999) with five stamps of which four are different and three are large; and three full postmarks, along with postal service barcoding. Grade: 1

Code: 20326046
Price: $6.00
