Thailand puts its stamp on it

Rare and vintage stamps go under the spotlight today until Sunday as Quartier Gallery at EmQuartier joins with the Philatelic Association of Thailand under the Patronage of Her Royal Highness Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the Federation of Inter-Asian Philately and Thailand Post in organising the “Four Nations Stamp Exhibition 2017 Thailand”. The exhibition, which aims to uphold stamp collections in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, is now in its fourth edition with each country taking turns to host the event.
    Visitors will not want to miss the showcase of stamps and other rare collector’s items honouring His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. These include the stamps issued to mark the late Monarch’s coronation on May 5, 1950 as well as those marking his 5th Wedding Anniversary and his 6th Cycle Birthday Anniversary.
    Stamps and souvenirs can be purchased as keepsakes from Thailand Post. The highlight is the horoscope stamp collection (Rooster Year), featuring a picture drawn by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn with the logo of the event.
    An iStamp service allows visitors to print a customised stamp for Bt60 per set, which can be used as a real postage stamp.
    There will also be a reservation registration for the latest stamps of the second trimester as well booths selling stamps and souvenirs from partner countries. Admission is free.
