The Thailand Post has brought out two outstanding stamp collections, featuring the photos of His Majesty the King from his infancy to the present. The second and the third collections were out this Wednesday which marked the 80th birthday of the King. The second latest collection carries nine stamps at a total face value of 120 baht. Eight stamps carry the pictures of the King in each decade from the day he was a child until now, as Thailand celebrated his 80th birthday. The ninth stamp in the set features the picture of the King when he entered the Monkhood, said the marketing manager of the Thailand Post. The third new collection, comprising four more stamps, features an image of the King and with his first white elephant. The white elephants are considered to be a noble beast of the Thai kings since ancient times.
