- Common marital emissions with other postal operators in the world are one of the most graceful projects that Poczta Polska can convey to philatelists. In thematically and technically, we show not only cultural, religious and ethnic diversity, but above all the beauty of tradition, nature or architecture of our partners in common emissions. On our latest stamps, we bring Poles closer to the Thai pearl of palace architecture, so far less known to Poles. I believe that such a combination with Warsaw bathrooms will appeal to our clients - says Krzysztof Górski, director of the International Cooperation Office and the Philately of Poczta Polska.
Official diplomatic relations between Poland and Thailand have been going on for 50 years, but informal contacts between the two countries - much longer. There are sources that communicate about the first relations between countries even several hundred years ago. The issue of joint philatelic emission commemorates the anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations with the country with which Poland is connected by friendly relations. The broadcast is significant for Poczta Polska, which strives to strengthen its presence on the Asian philatelic market.
