Thailand · 1905 · 1 Att

This definitive stamp features an intricately engraved depiction of Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, also known as the Temple of Dawn, a prominent Buddhist temple on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The design highlights the temple's iconic central prang (spire), a significant landmark of Thailand. The denomination is shown in both Thai and Western script.

Issued during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), this series replaced earlier issues and was part of an effort to modernize Siam's postal system with designs reflecting national identity.
