Orchid exhibition Bangkok

The 'Siam Paragon Bangkok Royal Orchid Paradise' orchid exhibition took place for the third time. It was held from June 5 to 10 at the Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok. Just like last year, Thailand Post has issued a series of stamps for this again. Last year a series of 9 stamps, this year a series of 7 stamps.

The name of the orchid is located below the depicted stamp. New orchid species in Thailand are often named after members of the Thai royal family. A block containing the 7 stamps was also released. During the exhibition, a special folder was released containing 7 envelopes, 7 postcards, and 2 blocks. These blocks differ from the block available for purchase at post offices. The post office version of the block bears the text 'Amazing Thailand', has a 3-digit control number, and a retail price of 30 baht. One of the exhibition blocks bears the text 'Amazing Thailand', and the other reads '3rd Siam Paragon Bangkok Royal Orchid Paradise 2009'. The blocks have a 5-digit serial number that is identical on both blocks in the folder. The retail price of the folder was 120 baht.
