Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church (Thailand)
Another in the series of Thailand Post’s (unused) cards of this highly unusual subject. Grade: 1

Code: 35001072
Price: $3.00
Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Under the Arch (Thailand)
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

Code: 35001073
Price: $3.00
Ayutthaya, Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Stained Glass (Thailand)
The last in our short series of unused cards from Thailand Post of this decidedly non-Buddhist subject. Grade: 1

Code: 35001074
Price: $3.00
Bangkok, Loha Prasat (Thailand)
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. (This is further captioned as Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan, the name of the temple.) Grade: 1

Code: 35001075
Price: $3.00
Brasov, Black Church (Romania)
Not postally used, but with a notation written in the message area. Grade: 3

Code: 35001076
Price: $1.00
Dhonburi, Giant at Wat Aroon (Thailand)
Likely mailed in the 1960s, this card has four overlapping stamps and two indistinct postmarks. Grade: 1

Code: 35001077T
Price: $5.00
Bangkok, Wat Phra Keo (Thailand)
With Wat Phra Keo on the front of the card, and Wat Phra Sri Ratna Sasdram on the reverse caption, either way this is Bangkok’s iconic Temple of the Emerald Buddha on a postcard mailed most likely in the late 1960s or possibly early 1970s, with four overlapping stamps and two postmarks. The picture is older than that, though. Grade: 1

Code: 35001078T
Price: $7.00
Bangkok, Wat Arun (Thailand)
Poor Wat Arun, with so many transliterations of its name and location, nobody can be really certain. But we know what the card says: mailed in Thai year 2541 (i.e., 1998 for the rest of us) with two stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 35001079T
Price: $3.00
Penang, Ayer Hitam, Kek Lok Si Temple (Malaysia)
Unused Airfoto card, older and with just a shadow of stain on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 35001080T
Price: $2.00
Brunei River (Brunei)
That’s the Sultan Mosque in the background. We have unused cards of Brunei; cards of Brunei mailed from somewhere else; and cards from somewhere else but mailed from Brunei. It has proven harder to get a card OF Brunei mailed FROM Brunei, with stamp and postmark, but here is one. It has a small return address rubber-stamped on the reverse, and slight water staining. 1970s? Grade: 2

Code: 35001081T
Price: $12.00
Dhonburi, Wat Arun (Thailand)
If we can read the postmark correctly, this card may have been mailed in 1990. Whenever, it has two different stamps and is clean. Grade: 1

Code: 35001082T
Price: $4.00
Kuala Lumpur, a Malay Mosque (Malaya)
Mosques should be for all Muslims. The A.S.M.K. & Co. card C-21113 was mailed in 1964, with two different Malaya stamps and clear postmark. The real name of the mosque, by the way, is Masjid Jamek and it used to pinpoint the centre of the city. Grade: 1

Code: 35001083T
Price: $9.00
Jama Mosque (Bahrain)
Mailed in 1973, with two stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 35001084
Price: $9.00
Paris, Sacré-Cœur
The Basilica of Sacré Coeur de Montmartre (Sacred Heart of Montmartre), says Wikipedia, is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica in Paris dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was formally approved as a national historic monument by the National Commission of Patrimony and Architecture on December 8, 2022. Sacré-Cœur Basilica is located at the summit of the butte of Montmartre. From its dome two hundred meters above the Seine, the basilica overlooks Paris and its suburbs and is the second most popular tourist destination in the capital after the Eiffel Tower. (This hardly qualifies it as “minor”.) Card was mailed in 2024, with postmark and a stamp that looks like a postage meter label with a QR Code. Grade: 1

Code: 35001085
Price: $1.00
Lantau, Po Lin Monastery (Hong Kong)
The site is arguably more famous for having the Big Buddha, which (we think) is where the photographer took this shot. Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1

Code: 35001086
Price: $3.00
Suceava County, Arbore Monastery (Romania)

Code: 35001099

Bangkok, Wat Pho
Arguably Bangkok’s most famous temple, we will let Wikipedia do the explaining: “Wat Pho, also spelled Wat Po, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace. Known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, its official name is Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan.” Unused Maekmai card BK.18. Grade: 1

Borgund, Stavkirke (Norway)
Borgund Stave Church is a former parish church initially Catholic and later the Church of Norway in Lærdal Municipality. It was built around the year 1200 as the village church and belonged to Lærdal parish until 1868, when its religious functions were transferred to a “new” Borgund Church nearby. The old church was restored, conserved and turned into a museum, run by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, and classified as a triple-nave stave church of the Sogn-type. Its grounds contain Norway’s sole surviving stave-built free-standing bell tower. Unused postcard. Grade: 1
