Two se-tenant stamps, each with a red loop-shaped banner that, when linked together, form a lemniscate. Along the red carpet-like lemniscate, that doubles as a road, are the cartoons of men and women working in various post related jobs, from office work to the handling and transportation of parcels and mail bags, as well as mail delivery. There are also people sending and receiving mail, and enjoying reading it. In addition, there is a mailbox, an icon of an airplane and the EMS logo dangling from a parachute, indicating swift delivery, the emblem of the World Post Day, i.e. two postage stamps with stylized silhouettes of people reaching out to each other, and the logo of Thailand Post on the helmets of the mailmen and on the postal truck.
