Neilson Hays Library in Bangkok in the 1920s and today. Cast iron pillar box almost certainly made by WT Allen & Co (who never supplied pillar boxes in the UK, only wall boxes and lamp boxes) #postboxsaturday

A visit to the stunning Grand Postal Building in Bangkok. Although the Thai Post Office is no longer headquartered here there is still a working post office on the ground floor. The dual aperture post box outside has the ID number "1/1" reflecting its prime location. #postboxsaturday #Thailand

Bringing us up to date, this design was introduced in 2013. A smaller lamp box version also exists but is a rare sight. #postboxsaturday #Thailand

A subtle modification of the steel box design (see last week's post) followed in 1980. The triple stripes were gone but the "cut off" corners were retained. The photos show one in circa 1980 and another taken in 2024. #postboxsaturday #Thailand

In 1967 the concrete postboxes (see last week's post) were replaced by steel boxes with a triple stripe design like these seen in Pattaya in 1970 and hiding behind a food vendor in Korat in 1974. Some are still in use but the stripes are no longer picked out in white. #postboxsaturday

Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand 1966. The following year, these old concrete postboxes would begin to be replaced by a new steel design. #postboxsaturday

Something different for #postboxsaturday Bangkok, early 70s, across from Sao Ching Cha (the Giant Swing). Fun fact: you can see this same box in the car chase sequence in The Man With the Golden Gun.
