Constantinos, your pics sometimes take a longer time to load, maybe because of the recent problems with putting up pictures on ThaiVisa. But they are worth the wait. Keep em coming! :smile:

Maybe because I upload a rather bigger file! Thank you! :)

Not that bad though... perhaps a few issues have not got ironed out yet... Could also be internet speed.

 

Keep posting always enjoyable to see!

French! They were made during the French occupation of Trat and Chantaburi! Sometime between 1893-1905! 

French? with the English word "Letterbox" and the Thai Garuda? :ermm:

Letterbox is not a french word;

on frenches letter boxes it's written only one word ( in french , of course ) :LETTRES

 

and frenches letter boxes are not red, as english ones, they are yellow  as cars, trucks, trains..

I've been told by a Thai friend of mine that these boxes were made during the French occupation! Now, what you say has a sense! I understand that the French should write it in their language! Perhaps the colors and letters are newer, or I am wrongly informed!

Were made ; it doesn't mean they are french letter boxes ;

I was working in post trains in France ; working from 6 pm to 6 am the day after

that might well be the case. perhaps the French ordered Thai postal authority to install these boxes. that would explain the Garuda.
