 Subject:

In green colour are a map of Thailand and illustrations of communication equipment, such as a landline telephone, a postal envelope, a fax machine, and a HS 376 communications satellite. In the background is a world map and in the centre of the Thai map are the logo of the National Communications Day in red, i.e. a stylized messenger pigeon, from which concentric rings in different colours emerge, and that suggest broadcasted signals. It refers to the motto of the Communications Authority of Thailand (CAT), i.e. ‘Linking Thailand to the entire World’.
