40th Ann. Diplomatic Relations Thailand - Vietnam

Post by aukepalmhof » Wed May 09, 2018 8:23 pm

Vietnam and Thailand jointly issued a set of commemorative stamps in Hanoi and Bangkok on August 5 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic relations (August 6, 1976).

The first stamp tells the legend of Hoan Kiem Lake where Le Loi returned his magic sword to the Golden Turle after his forces defeated the Ming Chinese army in 1428; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho%C3%A0n ... A%BFm_Lake while the second features Thailand’s folk puppet play, Hun Krabrok, by King Bhumibol Adulyadej. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hun_krabok
