Society for Thai Philately: Membership Information
All collectors with an interest in Thai stamps, covers, postal history, first day covers, revenues, and other related areas are invited to join the Society. Individuals who specialize in Thailand as well as general collectors wishing to learn more about this fascinating country are welcome. As a condition for membership, high ethical standards must be maintained by all members in all aspects of their philatelic life.
Benefits of Membership
Your membership in the Society for Thai Philately brings with it a free subscription to the Society journal, Thai Philately. The journal is published two or three times a year in either cyber or printed format. It includes both specialized research and articles of general interest as well as related news. Thai Philately also includes news of Society activities, members, and meetings. All members are invited to take an active part in sharing their research and experience by contributing articles. A new Society member receives all back issues of Thai Philately for the current year.
As a member, you will also be entitled to participate in Society auctions. Thus far, seven Society auctions have been held. The Society tries to hold at least one auction each year. All members are encouraged to participate, both as buyers and sellers.
Importantly, your membership will bring you into a community of collectors that shares your same interest and excitement in all aspects of Thai philately.
