SINGAPORE – A historic street off New Bridge Road and a popular pier near Bangkok’s Grand Palace will feature in two new stamps issued to mark 60 years of diplomatic ties between Singapore and Thailand.
Singapore Post, in a statement on Sept 17, said the stamps will be launched jointly with Thailand Post.
The two stamps – one featuring Temple Street in Chinatown and the other featuring Bangkok’s Tha Chang Wang Luang pier and community area – will be available for sale from Sept 19.
Temple Street is a one-way street that connects New Bridge Road and South Bridge Road, near the historic Sri Mariamman Temple, and is part of the Chinatown conservation area.
Tha Chang Wang Luang is an area in Bangkok known for its bustling market and historical importance on the Chao Phraya River.
Stamp enthusiasts can buy the stamps – which come as part of a set – at the philatelic counter at the General Post Office and philatelic stores and on the SingPost website
The collection includes stamp sets, a commemorative first day cover and a presentation pack.
SingPost group chief executive Neo Su Yin said the designs capture a slice of Singapore’s and Thailand’s unique architecture, and reflects the bond between the two countries.
