The British Post Office in Siam 

From 1858, the British operated a postal service out of their consulate in Bangkok. Strait Settlements stamps were used until 1882, 

after which the same issues overprinted with a capital 'B' were made available. Most values are scarce to rare, and dangerous forgeries 

exist. We gratefully acknowledge Michel Houde from Canada for his assistance in checking the material from high-resolution scans. 

While it is often difficult to assess such material without physical inspection, Michel has applied his acknowledged expertise to making a 

detailed study of the stamps. He has identified those he believes have forged overprints, those he considers genuine, and those that 

are "suspect". That information is reflected in our descriptions.

The chance of this stamp being genuine must be considered highly implausible However, the 'B' 

appears to be genuine. Having said that, the Bangkok branch of the Hong Kong & Shangai Banking 

Corporation opened only in 1888, some three years after the 'B' Overprints were withdrawn, on 30th 

June 1885, the day before Siam joined the Universal Postal Union.

1889-99 Att Surcharges 

During this period, and well into the 20th Century, Siam experienced recurring shortages of low denomination stamps, requiring 

numerous revaluations of higfher values to meet immediate needs. Both handstamps and machine-overprints were employed. That 

fact, along with the numerous sub-types and altered settings, make for a collecting challenge of complexity and variety. The most 

extensive collection of the "atts" surcharges known to us was formed by the American Vincent Polizatto, and sold in Hong Kong in 

2006. Numerous references are made to the catalogue for that sale. It is highly noteworthy that Len Colgan's collection includes a 

number of significant items that were absent from the Polizatto Collection.

This is one of the most contentious stamps in all of Thai philately. Although accorded full catalogue 

status by Hobby International, the Frajola & Ostlie entry is in italics which means "believed to 

be...issued without official sanction". However, Thai collectors clearly accept its validity, and it's 

inclusion in Len Colgan's "Bangkok 1993" exhibit was not challenged. Vincent Polizatto considered the

Due to an acute shortage of 2atts stamps, a small number of the '1' on 3atts surcharges were 

additionally handstamped with a large '2'. [Few examples seem to have survived, suggesting that the 

catalogue value is very conservative. The Feldman "Thailand" example - Lot 20111, described as "one

This is another contentious stamp. Although accorded catalogue status by Hobby International, and

apparently with approval from the Treasury. However, when the postal authorities came to know of the existence of these stamps, the 

issue was suppressed and all remaining stamps were withdrawn and destroyed. In 1907, Battambang was ceded to French Indo-China

Kevin Ryan's used example - Lot 203, small thin in the margin at top - sold for $2990] 

Both this and Lot 94 are clearly dated August 1902 (with an indistinct day). This suggests that the 

issue date of September 1902 in both catalogues is an error. In fact, Frajola & Ostlie state "In August 

1902..."

250,000 baht (= $A8333). RPSofL Certificate (1972). 

Len Colgan states that the Battambang postmaster started surchaging a part-sheet of the 12 atts 

alternately with 2 atts & 10 atts. Soon realising that this was likely to result in serious confusion when 

the stamps were released to the public, he returned to those inscribed 2 atts & re-typed 10 atts on 

those few stamps. It is stated that only 12 of these dual surcharged stamps were produced and that 

perhaps as few as 4 are known to have survived, making this arguably the rarest stamp of 

Siam/Thailand. Absent from Vincent Polizatto's collection.

These undenominated stamps, with a notional value of 1 att, were printed by a photographic process onto thick ungummed paper of 

generally poor quality. According to Frajola & Ostlie there were 13 different, of which they illustrate 11. These stamps were apparently 

for use on correspondence between members of the Royal Household. Most surviving examples have significant faults. Fine to very

In December 1907, during a critical shortage of 1 att stamps for the local letter rate, officials at only the 

post offices designated Bangkok 1 2 & 5 were authorised to use emergency "no stamps available" 

markings. Most such markings were handwritten endorsements in English or Siamese but typewritten

1925-35 King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) 

King Prajadhipok was the youngest full-brother of King Vajiravudh. Fourth in line to the throne, and considered unlikely to become King, 

he had planned a military career. During the Great Depression of the early 1930s, he introduced austerity measures that were very 

unpopular with the military. In June 1932 a coup d'etat resulted in the abolition of the absolute monarchy. In 1935, while seeking 

medical treatment in England, King Prajadhipok abdicated. He never returned to Siam and died in 1941, leaving no heir.

Australian Prisoners of War on the Burma-Siam Railway 

Allied Prisoners of War (POWs) were transferred from Singapore to build the infamous Burma-Siam Railway. It is estimated that some 

60,000 POWs and 180,000 Asian labourers were involved. Of these, about 16,000 POWs perished, along with half the Asian workforce 

(so much for the Japanese propaganda slogan "Asia for the Asians"). Construction began in June 1942 & the task was completed in 

October 1943. Subsequently, some POWs were transferred to Japan but the majority saw out the war in relocation camps or hospital 

camps. Regardless of the destination in Australia, all the items in this section were passed by the censors in Melbourne. References 

are to Vol III of David Tett's multi-volume work on POWs under the Japanese, available from Prestige Philately for $99 (GST inclusive).
