Thailand · 1882 · 10 Cents

The stamp features a profile portrait of Queen Victoria facing left, within an oval frame. It is an overprint of a Straits Settlements stamp, with 'BANGKOK' at the top and '10 CENTS' at the bottom.

This stamp was issued by the British Post Office in Bangkok, reflecting the presence of foreign postal services in Siam (Thailand) during the late 19th century. It is an overprint on a Straits Settlements stamp, used before Thailand established its own comprehensive postal system.
