Stamps in four different colours, each with a dark and light shade. In the dark shade is the logo of the Communications Authority of Thailand (fig.), i.e. a golden chadah-like crown (fig.) over a post horn, as well as the Thaipex '81 logo, i.e. a golden silhouette of a postage stamp. Also in the darker section is in white the Thai text, i.e. ngan sadaeng trah praisanih yahkon haeng chaht 2524 (งานแสดงตราไปรษณียากรแห่งชาติ ๒๕๒๔), with 2525 being the date in BE. On the pale sections of each design is the depiction of an early Siamese postage stamp, namely: 1. Rama V (3rd Issue), issued in 1899 AD and depicting a portrait of King Chulalongkorn, with a denomination of 8 At; 2. Rama V (6th Series - Garuda), issued in 1910 and showing a portrait of King Rama V over a Garuda, with a face value of 28 Satang; 3.
