Thai Postboxes (Thailand) (set)

Amazing Thailand 1998-1999 (set of four)

Code: 39600106
Price: $18.00
13th Asian Games 1998 (2nd Series) (Thailand) (set)
Issued in December 1998 (Thai: 2541), this set of four unused cards has some postmark ink transfer on each reverse. This happened during initial processing and we don’t consider it to be a defect. Bilingual Thai and English captions. There’s nothing wrong with our scan: this is the way the cards look. What were they thinking? Grade: 1

Code: 39600107
Price: $14.00
The Telecom Man of the Nation (Thailand) (set)
Of course, King Bhumibol. This set of four unused maximum cards was issued in June 1997 (Thai 2540), captioned in Thai and English. Two sets are available, clean but slightly aging. Grades: 1

Code: 39600108
Price: $18.00
Nong Khai, Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge (Thailand)
Exceptionally from that period, this is not a set but a single unused card, issued in April 1994 (Thai: 2537). Though the card itself is captioned only in Thai, you can get the locational information of this bridge spanning the Mekong River from both the stamp and the postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 39600109
Price: $9.00
Centenary of the International Olympic Committee (Thailand) (set of 5)
This is a set of five cards, issued in June 1994 (Thai: 2537), with bilingual Thai and English captions. Four appear in our scan; the fifth is of a foot race. They have the beginning of some age mottling on the reverses but are otherwise unmarked. Grade: 2

Code: 39600110
Price: $20.00
50th Anniversary Celebrations (Thailand) (set of five)
This set has five unused cards, of which four appear in the scan. The full English caption (there’s also Thai) says: 50th Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty’s Accession to the Throne (2nd Series). Issued in June 1996 (Thai 2539) in honour of King Bhumibol. There is some postmark ink transfer on the reverse of each card as they were stacked during processing. We don’t consider this to be a defect. Two sets are available. Grades: 1

Price: $26.00

Code: 39600112
Price: $20.00
50th Anniversary Celebrations (Thailand) (set)
Whereas our entry 39600111 was the 2nd series, this is the 3rd series of the “50th Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty’s Accession to the Throne,” and is a set of three unused cards from June 1996 (Thai 2539), with Thai and English captions. We would like to point out that while the Thai Government and we consider these to be maximum cards, the stamps do not match the postcard photos well. Grade: 1

Code: 39600113
Price: $18.00
50th Anniversary Celebrations – 4th Series (Thailand) (set of five)
The crowning glory (pun intended, disrespect not intended) of our various stock of 50th Anniversary unused maximum cards of King Bhumibol’s accession to the throne. This is the 4th series, issued in June 1996 (Thai 2539), and the five cards have minor postmark ink transfer on the back from having been stacked during processing. We do not consider this to be a defect. Though you can’t see it well in the scan, the card with the airplane has a holographic image of the King on the stamp. Four of the five cards appear in the scan. Two sets are available. Grades: 1

Code: 39600114
Price: $28.00
Royal Forest Department (Thailand) (set)
Two sets are available of this group of four unused cards, whose full caption reads: “The Centennial Anniversary of the Royal Forest Department Celebrations,” issued in September 1996 (Thai: 2539). The longer caption is in English; the shorter one, in Thai. Grade: 1

Code: 39600115
Price: $18.00
Phichit, Loung Poh Phetch, The Buddha Image (Thailand)
Maybe we should call this “in the style of a maximum card” because it is out of the ordinary for two reasons: first, the stamp doesn’t really match the photo exactly, and second, because it was probably not issued by the Thai post office. But we’re not certain about that. Nor can we quite make out the exact date on the official postmark on the front, though there is another more normal one in the postage area on the back: Thai year 2537. So that is what we know. The card is unmarked otherwise. Grade: 1
