Stamps of LAO

As a gerenal collector as well as Stampedia webmaster , I've put almost all the stamps of LAO into my Lindner album. I got perfect collection of LAO at Christoph Gaertner auction last year and this collection contains most of the souvenior sheet in early times. Of course there are some missing stamps in it , I found and get some of them at ebay.



When I put stamps of new country , I also study the country on Wikipedia. Getting new knowledge is exciting.

There are some portrait of king on the LAO stamp in 50's and 60's.

After the Vietnam war however , communism abolished the monarchy , look&feel of LAO stamp has completely changed (after July 1975).



Study from price change of stamps tells me there were twice inflation in LAO.

First time is around 1990 when the cold war ends and the other is around 2000 of asian currency crisis.



Now we start scanning and making text databese of them and we will exhibit LAO catalog in our Project.Bangkok (this August).
