A graphic that shows a cartoon-like globe where people live divided by water and distance, by night- and daytime, and by other natural barriers, and letters, parcels and other items on dotted lines, as well as airplanes, that represent the global postal service that connects people, communities and societies worldwide. In the bottom right corner is the Thai national flag, known in Thai as thong chaht, and in the top left corner is ─in white against a blue backdrop─ the logo of the Universal Postal Union (UPU), i.e. a cartoon-like silhouette of a globe surrounded by people holding letters while reaching out to each other and flanked by a pair of olive branches, symbolizing the global reach and connectivity of postal services worldwide. The stamp is predominantly in different shades of green and features some wind turbines, emphasizing efforts to mitigate climate change and advocate for environmental stewardship. Underneath the logo of the UPU, is in small print the text: #POSTFORPLANT
