A beautiful FDC from Thailand, sent by Nina R. of Bangkok.
The FDC commemorates the National Children’s Day 2013 celebrated on 12 January 2013 in Thailand. On the FDC, Nina affixed one large stamp that features all the flags of member countries of Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and children wearing traditional costumes of each country. Two special cancels were applied on the cover. Nina also affixed three definitive stamps. One ordinary cancel were applied with Buddhist date 12.1.5556. The location is Bangkok Noi.
This is the back of the FDC that contains information about the issue. Thank you very much Nina!
This is the first FDC of Postal History of Kedah that I sent to my own address in Canada.
The only different with Khor’s FDC (entry #681) is that my FDC is cancelled in Pulau Pinang, plus I didn’t affixed the air mail sticker! Please refer to entry #681 for more information about this issue.
On 20 December 2012, Pos Malaysia issued commemorative stamps and two FDCs to mark the 125th anniversary of Postal History of Kedah, a state in northwest Malaysia. I was in Malaysia for winter holidays, so I had the time to send the FDCs to my address in Canada. At the same time, Khor Kok Keong also sent the FDCs to me! So now I have four FDCs from this issue. Here is the first FDC from Khor Kok Keong.
This is the first version of the FDC, where the old General Post Office in Alor Setar, the state capital of Kedah. On this FDC Khor affixed one souvenir sheet that features an old postcard posted from Kedah to Penang. The postmark date on the postcard is 27 October 1887, and during that time Kedah was a province under the Kingdom of Thailand so that explains why the postcard and the stamp were of Siam. I think the stamp on the postcard shows a portrait of King Chulalongkorn, the 5th monarch from the Royal House of Chakri. Khor’s FDC was cancelled in Ipoh, Perak.
This is the pamphlet that contains information about the issue.
This is the back of the pamphlet. I shall only upload the pamphlet once in this entry. Thanks a lot Khor!
