BANGKOK, 30 March 2017 (NNT) – Thailand Post has joined hands with the Office of the Royal Projects Development Board (RPDB) to create the “In Celebration of the 70 Year Reign” stamp collection honoring His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his achievement as the world’s longest reigning monarch. 

The stamp collection, created under the concept “The Longest Reign, The Longest Stamp” has been unveiled in an event organized by both Thailand Post and RPDB. The stamps feature 6 depictions of the late King standing before 6 study centers established by his royal projects.

They include the Khao Hin Son Development Center in Chachoengsao, Huay Sai Development Center in Petchburi and Phu Phan Development Center of Sakon Nakhon. The stamps also have the distinction of being the longest in the world at 170 millimeters and will be the last official collection of King Rama 9. 

Those who acquire the stamps can scan them to view an Augmented Reality video detailing each of the 6 centers. They will go on sale April 1 onward at 9 baht per stamp or 45 baht for the collection.

A total 9 million are being printed and will be available at all Thailand Post branches or via www.postemart.com. More information can be found by calling 02-831-3856.
