"Bangok 2013" becomes "Thailand 2013"

The unofficial name "Bangkok 2013" of the World Stamp Exhibition has been changed to "Thailand 2013" in order to reflect its scale and importance. The venue is the Siam Paragon shopping complex, which is a vast, modern site, and can be reached very easily and in comfort by the Skytrain high-level railway. The exhibition runs from 2nd to 14th August 2013.

Any members who wish to attend should contact our Chairman, Jonathan Manning for further information.
