-

-
Elephant art
You may choose to believe. Or not. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Wat Pho, reclining Buddha
Two cards are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $1) and the other was mailed in 2020 with two large stamps and postmarks (Grade: 1, $3).
-

-
Bangkok, Hualampong Railway Station
Unused, multi-view card. Grade: 1
-
Koh Samui, Hin Ta Hin Yai (Grandpa & Grandma Stone)
Two of these unused cards SM-524 are available. Grades: 1
-
Krabi, Noppharat Thara Beach
Unused card KB-561. Grade: 1
-
Sukhothai Historical Park, Loi Krathong and Candle Festival
Unused card SC-24, captioned in Thai and English. Grade: 1
-
Chiang Rai, Phu Chi Fah National Park

-
Trading Place at Floating Market
Mailed in 2021, this card has three different stamps, two postmarks, and one Airmail sticker. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Scenery of the floating market (29)
Bilingual Thai/English caption on this unused mid-century card. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Scenery of the floating market (87)
Another unused, older card. (87) refers to the card’s own number. Grade: 1
-
Dhonburi, Scenery of the floating market at Bangka (257)
Unused, bilingual Thai/English caption on this unused mid-century card. Grade: 1
-
Dhonburi, Scene of the Floating Market (440)
Unused, older card. It hardly looks like a floating market, but the bilingual caption says it is. Grade: 1
-
Nakorn Chaisri, Uproot rice seedlings
We have several cards showing rice at different stages of growth in different countries, but none quite like this older, unused card. Grade: 1
-
Phuket, Patong Beach
The postmark uses Thai calendar dating but the card was mailed in 1987. Stamp’s there. The only way we could possibly envision Patong Beach ever looking this empty is if someone was loudly yelling “Free Beer This Way!!” behind the camera. Grade: 1
-
Ko Samui, Imperial Samui Hotel
It’s funny about Google, whose various entries about this property describe it as everything from a “hostel” to a “5-star resort” … but it’s still there, even if the “Ko” in “Ko Samui” is now spelled “Koh” … usually. The card was mailed in 1992, with stamp and postmark and red air mail chop. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Wat Benchama Bopitr
Also called “The Marble Temple” and victim to the same variety of spellings that plagues other Thai transliterations. Mailed many years ago with four overlapping stamps and two mostly unreadable postmarks, it’s an iconic Thai postcard nevertheless. Grade: 1
-
Lampoon, Buddha Image in Wat Hariphunchai
The caption just says it better than we could reconfigure the information: “The Image of the Buddha in Phra Uposatha of Wat Hariphunchai, Lampoon, Northern Thailand”. Card was mailed many years ago, most of the postmark and all of the stamp are there along with two bilingual airmail chops. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Praisaneeyakarn, the first Post Office Building
Two of these sepia-styled cards are available, issued by Thailand Post in Thai year 2552 (2009), both unused but each with a flaw. One is OK on the front but has remnants of a dried rubber band sticking to the back (Grade: 4, $2). The other is OK on the back but a part of the clear lamination at the bottom front is beginning to peel (Grade: 3, $2).
-
Praisaneeyakarn, First Post Office Building
An official (unused) card issued by Thailand Post in 2009, and having been inside this building we can say it is somehow more imposing than the card makes it look. (It would have been perfect as an old railroad station.) Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Post Office (A)
We know this is Bangkok’s original (and main) post office building because we got the 5-1/8″ x 7″ unused card there, but apart from a massive bar code on the reverse — and attribution to Thailand Post — there is no other specific identification. This would have a somewhat specialised appeal to collectors of post office postcards. See also the next entry after this. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Post Office (B)
See our adjoining entry (A). It’s not the same drawing! Grade: 1
-
Thailand Bike Fest
In 2015, as part of “Discover Thailand”, they had the Thailand Bike Fest, and Thailand Post issued Prepaid Postcards with colourful maximum-card-style matching (printed) postage. Otherwise unused, this card has a large cancellation from a later year (2023). Something for everyone: QR Code, Bar Code, website instructions … everything but a precise identification of the location. Grade: 1.
-
Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Under the Arch
A seemingly odd subject for a short series of Thailand Post official cards, but here it is … sub-captioned “Here it began, the Advent of Thai Catholic”. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Bas-Relief of The Last Supper
Similar in all respects to our previous entry 20326467. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church
Another in the series of Thailand Post’s (unused) cards of this highly unusual subject. Grade: 1
-
Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Stained Glass
The last in our short series of unused cards from Thailand Post of this decidedly non-Buddhist subject. Grade: 1
-
Thai Royal Family
This unused card has no caption and no attribution apart from its own index number of 500 1522. But if you were in Thailand, you would be expected to know exactly who everyone was. We are not experts, but judging from the ages of the individuals, we might guess the photo to have been taken in the 1970s. And if by chance you don’t know, the (new) King is the man standing in the back row along with his sister. Grade: 1
-
Postage pre-paid
Blank on the back, we asked at the counter if they could provide a good cancellation postmark — and so they did. Grade: 1
-
120th Anniversary of the State Railway
Issued by Thailand Post, and there’s much more information — in Thai — on the front of the card. Unused, and we have three of these. Grades: 1
-
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
-
Bangkok, General Post Office
On this unused card from Thailand Post, the bilingual Thai/English caption says “General Post Office photographed after the World War II in 1946”. Although this postcard is indeed several years old, it’s not as old as that. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Mural in Wat Phra Kaew
Unused Maekmai card BK.64. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Rama VIII Bridge
It wouldn’t be clear from the scan, but the edges of this unused card issued by the Philatelic Museum of Thailand Post are cut in the same manner as a gigantic stamp. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Democracy Monument
It wouldn’t be clear from the scan, but the edges of this unused card issued by the Philatelic Museum of Thailand Post are cut in the same manner as a gigantic stamp. Grade: 1
-
Bangkok, Giant Swing (Sao Chingcha)
It wouldn’t be clear from the scan, but the edges of this unused card issued by the Philatelic Museum of Thailand Post are cut in the same manner as a gigantic stamp. Grade: 1
